I, Michael Bobak, do solemnly offer these my responses to The Road to Lisp Survey: When did you first try Lisp seriously, and which Lisp family member was it? I used Scheme in a ProgrammingLanguagePrinciples class, then ended up using ACL4 in grad-school. So stuck by 93. What led you to try Lisp? Classes and needing to get a job done, incl. thesis using OPS5 What other languages have you been using most? Started doing simulation in FORTRAN77 in HS. Also use of C(++), and later Smalltalk, some java. A fair amount of rule-based OO shells, incl. CLIPS and the commercial version ART*Enterprise. Like CLOS and Lisp(like)KnRep much more than c++/java. How far have you gotten in your study of Lisp? A fair number of years, but always much much more to learn. What do you think of Lisp so far? Wish it was easier to play w/other libraries, and huge amounts of data.
