SBCL is a "sufficiently smart" compiler, that makes Lisp fast. I've replaced enough software with CL, that now I can't stand to use a computer without it. With CL you can do whatever the fuck you want, all the time. It's glorious. The limitations are your own ability, and having to interface to crappy non-CL software, idiotic non-Lisp protcols, and hardware seemingly designed to be operated by spavined brine shrimp. But also I'm "eccentric" and I like exiling myself to the software wilderness, where you have great freedom, but have to be very self reliant.

I am interested in this idea of "refactoring" software into Lisp. Do you have any resources on this?
