Has anyone here had any experience using newlisp? There are things I don't love about it, like the lack of backquote syntax, but the community seems a lot friendlier than what palish has had to deal with. That being said, my experience with comp.lang.lisp hasn't been bad. I posted a simple question about destructive functions there a while ago and got a helpful response pretty quickly.
