I'll prefix this reply with the fact that I'm a Scheme fan. But I would never try to code up a large project in anything related to LISP right now. It's awesome that you've put together your own framework, but at the same time kind of unfortunate that you have to. Lots of languages (including Java) already have form validation frameworks that do pretty much anything you want, but Common LISP doesn't have the community behind webapps to get really great libraries. I won't take away anything from LISPy languages as far as learning more about computer science in general and AI & language design in specific, but it's not the end-all be all of programming languages, at least not anymore. Ask PG how many startups he's given YC money to that actually use any language invented before the 90's...
