I used to think likewise (you can check my previous comments). But at the end of the day, you gotta pay the bills...

Nonetheless, I have huge respect for CL. I think I'm gonna learn it well once and for all. (maybe use it for back-end).

True 'nuff.

I prefer Scheme to CL. The tooling isn't as developed, but Chicken and Guile are both plenty usable, and Scheme is less crufty than CL.

Chicken + some plugins they provide are almost more than enough for most people! Great project.
Indeed. It's actually my preferred language for writing code. It may not have as many libraries, and it might not be as mature as, say, CL, but it's just so pleasant to program in.
