You're definitely not the only one. I'm in the camp too. The language isn't perfect, but it's so much better than the popular dynamic ones that it's a shame it's still relatively obscure. And the development model of Common Lisp is what I strongly miss everywhere else.

By "development model" do you mean how the Common Lisp project is developed or how developers develop with Common Lisp?

[TeMPOraL]

Aren't those essentially the same? But if there's a difference, then I think mostly of the latter - of development experience when working on Common Lisp code.

Yes I suppose they are. :) I meant to ask if it was something about the way the project made decisions or picked direction. But it's clear now what you meant.
