OMG! This is what I'm talking about with Common Lisp. One minute you're a washed-up slacker, the next Mark L. Watson speaks to you. I'm winding my way through "Loving Common Lisp, or the Savvy Programmer's Secret Weapon" as we speak and loving it. Thank you!

I don't have a blog and haven't gotten far enough in my learning to make anything useful, but I do plan to produce a newbie's guide to help people get started quickly. My perspective as an older person for whom CL is my first language could be valuable since my sticking points are different and I don't yet have bad habits to break.
