When did you first try Lisp seriously, and which Lisp family member was it?
I first tried Lisp seriously last year (2002), but only fully switched in the last few months. Clisp is my main implementation but I also use SBCL and Corman Lisp.

What led you to try Lisp?
I was impressed by the PLT scheme presentation and very impressed by Paul Grahams talk at LL2. Also I kept trying and learning new languages but lisp always seemed to have the best way of doing things. I kept seeing features in other languages and thinking 'lisp can do that', it just seemed able to handle anything I could throw at it.

Where did your road originate?
I had learned python and enjoyed the ability to do cool functional stuff in it but soon wanted more power. Lisp was exactly what I wanted. I love squeak smalltalk but sadly it's bit of a mess and Common Lisp has the same dynamic features but in a more organised and structured way.

How far have you gotten in your study of Lisp?
Newbie but coming along well. Can be productive but my code is still terrible :-) Having said that at the moment I am hacking out a co-operative fair threads system in userspace for Clisp. It's a 'worse is better way' of doing things but I think it might still be useful for many people (if I can get it to work!).

What do you think of Lisp so far?
It's fantastic. Seems to be getting better every day and the community is really taking off.
