"With all due respect, he's wrong on the library issue. Lisp lacks good libraries, period. Couple years ago I have a project in mind and tried to develop it in Lisp. I couldn't find good libraries on database binding, SMTP/POP3/MIME, threading, Unicode, etc."
I don't understand why this objection comes up. CLSQL has been around since 2002, bordeaux-threads since 2006, CL-SMTP since 2005, SBCL has had Unicode support since 2003 or 2004, CLISP for even longer. All this stuff has been around even longer in commercial implementations. Where were you looking?
