which LISP implementation (goal explained)



hello all,

1st, i have already searched the archives of last 12 years for this
question i am asking but did not get my answer. 2nd, i will not take
much of your precious time.

i want to start writing web-based softwares (like VIAWEB of Paul
Graham, see paulgraham.com).
so which LISP implementation i should choose out of these 3: CLISP,
CMUCL, SBCL.

personally i like SBCL as it is an ANSI CL implementation and its
error-mesages are quite informative. OTOH, CLISP runs almost everywhere
and web-server have different kinds of hardwares so it is easy to port
CLISP to such different kinds of hardwares but porting CMUCL, SBCL is
extemely difficult.

what you folks advise. any views.

thanks
