I'm looking for a Lisp for a production environment based on Common Lisp and need an opinion with regards to the best choice of a Common Lisp from the following perspectives:

* Performance * License (Commercial vs. Open Source) * Cost (including distributing runtimes)

Thanks!

I'm looking for a comparison between the sizes for the same page in HTML 4.01, HTML5 and XHTML. Preferably the page would be complex enough to illustrate any size differences. Does anyone have any links to this sort of study?

A friend of mine is looking for a development environment similar to Hypercard (pref. open source) that will enable his to create standalone apps (obv. with the runtime included). He's not looking to make any money from these, hence the interest in open source, but does need to be able to provide most of the functionality associated with Hypercard (incl. video playback) as well as data grids. I've looked at a number of for-pay options and things like PythonCard (not rich enough in controls) and Shoes, but they don't seem to fit his requirements. LIkewise, he's not a "heavyweight programmer" (his description, not mine) so something at the level of Hypercard seems to be the best fit. Anyone working on or know of anything like that?

Thanks!
