Honestly... it's entirely possible to "get" Lisp and at the same time not really see anything that compelling about it for doing your own work.
I "get" Lisp just fine, have made my own hobby Lisp interpreters, have written programs in Lisp, am an emacs user, etc. etc.
And yet if you handed me a terminal and an editor and asked me to write a program, I would never reach for Lisp to do it. My eyes don't like it. (Also I like static types).
