Best of luck!
I like how you mention first thinking Common Lisp was archaic, and then realising how advanced it really is.
BTW, you might want to wrap your text lines:-)

"You know Lisp is the perfect language precisely because it lost its momentum (died) and lives on. Other languages need their Next Big Thing momentum."

Common Lisp was exactly what it says "Common". Just some sort of common ground between all the various lisp dialects that existed, because everyone went their own way in extending the language. People end up coming back to it time and time again, because all the others don't quite provide that common ground for people to work on. Whilst there may be things missing, there's always something more missing in other lisps.
I still think Shen has lots of potential.
