Common Lisp is a curious creature. Ancient in some ways, prescient in others. It is not perfect by any means, and politics did play a large part in the 10-year ANSI standardization process. At the end of the day, for me, what makes it my favorite language is the principle that the language should provide the maximum possible power to the programmer, boosting productivity of (most evidently) the individual developer. It has served me well in my 3D graphics project [0], which is different enough from what is out there that it does feel like a worthwhile endeavor.
