"Common Lisp in particular seems to be a LFSP where many of its leading practitioners only know Lisp." The hardcorest Lisp hacker I know wrote the chapter on C++ in the UNIX Haters Handbook.

(And he works as a C++ programmer right now. :-)) UNIX Haters Handbook, published in the early 90s: http://research.microsoft.com/~daniel/uhh-download.html http://research.microsoft.com/~daniel/uhh-download.html
