i like the syntax :)
but implementations make me sad..

afaik Mono guys made stable .NET platform in relatively short time, i wonder
why Lisp guys were not able to do same.

RJ> Why not just switch to Java?

i did that, sort of. i'm currently using Armed Bear Common Lisp, based on
Java. and i have less problems with it than with other implementations i
used. if it breaks down, i typically know where to fix it.
however it has some unfixable problem -- CLOS crashes with hardware
multithreading.. and it's quite slow. so i'm afraid i won't be able to use
it in production environment, if i ever do any production..

(actually i only program Lisp as a 'hobby'; at work i mainly use C++. it
constantly crashes, but that's what C++ was designed for :)
