Here are a few things that triggered major Aha! moments for me, in no

Oops, I forgot one:

native-compiling Lisp), and the realization that the
functionality is part of standard CL

That got me into lisp actually... few months ago. Downloaded the
allegro trial, got a book from a colleague (The Winston & Horn one),
put some samples, and one of the first things I did was ... compile,
then optimizations, and that bought me. Too bad my daily job is C/C++
coding (game development).
