This comment is for all those people who have written against Lisp in this thread.
Lisp was designed to represent/design/play with/experiment with advanced and complex algorithms. Now, when was the last time you wrote a code that was algorithmic or was about some new cool algorithm, try to remember, let me tell you the answer: most probably never ever in your life (and there is no hope in future as well). What you people do is stitch APIs, or more precisely, iOS API, Android API, Some web framework API, DOM API, API API API... look at your code and see it is just a bunch of APIs call thrown in a mix. This is absolutely fine because what you guys build is "Application" (not "Technology") which grab some data from here and there, store it in some shiny DB and when user want it show him in a shiny new UI, that all you do and for this purpose go ahead and use whatever language those APIs are in, no problem at all, but please don't rant about something that you don't understand.
