Do you mind enumerating what those systems are? I've only played around with Allegro CL and SBCL myself.

Thanks for sharing this! In the last couple of years I've moved from being primarily a Java developer to a nodejs developer and I love exploring what dynamic languages bring to the table.

I think a better analogy would be the engineering team we see frantically trying to keep the engines together in Sci-Fi movies/TV. The DBA is on the same ship as everyone else!
