I'm a mathematician working in a common lisp shop, and sometimes, I really do feel that I'm living the dream. We're presently hiring, with more of a focus on software engineering than doodling on pure math, of course, but we'd be eager to interview somebody with love for math and common lisp. Email's in my profile.

How did you guys end up with CL?

  It looks like CL is all the rage for quantum computing (and some AI companies). https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl Thinking about recent feedback: - https://blog.funcall.org//lisp%20psychoacoustics/2024/05/01/worlds-loudest-lisp-program/ https://blog.funcall.org//lisp%20psychoacoustics/2024/05/01/...

Very enticing. My work is largely in computer vision and gpu programming. I feel far removed the rare air I once breathed programming lisp.

Funny, the mathematician I know that works at a CL shop hates it, and is eager to transition into data science in a Python shop. From what he has told me, the Allegro IDE is unpleasant and antiquated-feeling, and the code is hard to work with / not of particularly high quality.
