As a user of Common Lisp that is lately learning Ruby, i am amazed at how weak the type system is and how many stuff that would immediately cause a compiler error in Lisp (like asking values from class members that don't exist) simply

Im taking note. Question, is there any industrial strength Prolog for Commom Lisp, besides the Allegro product?

Somebody is underrating the Common Lisp ecosystem, me thinks. There are much fewer libs than in Python, of course, but, most likely, everything you need you would find in CL, and some of those libs are very high quality. >There is one le

Take a look at Common Lisp, Haskell, Smalltalk, and Prolog to see examples of great languages.

True, but they support entirely different philosophies to software development: the "build a cathedral" (Haskell) versus "create a living organism" (Lisp), to paraphrase an Alan Perlis quote.
