That's a good idea. In fact, I have some down time at the moment, I'll try to get it done today.

I feel pretty much the same way today as I did then.

> How do you feel about Clojure?

I've never used but, but from what I've read it looks pretty spiffy.

Just do it. There are a zillion Lisps to choose from and a zillion tutorials and books, just pick one and start writing (or, even better, reading) some code.

My personal favorite is Clozure Common Lisp on a Mac. For a starter text, PG's and PN's (Peter Norvig) books are pretty good. But nothing beats just picking a little project and building something.

Yes, a lot. In fact, for the last 5-6 years I have been working to help develop and maintain a tool for VLSI chip design written in Common Lisp. (Unfortunately, the company that built it was recently acquired by a large publicly traded corporation, and they have decided to kill the project. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.)

I have also done a lot of personal coding in CL. Most recently I wrote a spam filter that I use in production on my personal mail server.
