The joke is now on Dominus and da Silva - awk runs in Common Lisp: http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/lisp/clawk/ http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/lisp/clawk/ da Silva does have a completely valid point. CL needs a library to make it easy to run your favorite implementation with your software as a Unix shell script. And more reader macros. I use so many my code is starting to look like Perl. I don't think that's a bad thing. Adding an APL reader macro for array processing would IMO be a wonderful thing for a lot of the Common Lisp graphics libraries.
