That's what I've been working off of for the past week or so. It's been really fun, I think I was just wondering if it's everything people say about it.

Thanks for the input. I wouldn't mind continuing with CL. Many people I've talked to said they find it incredibly useful for small projects that they need to throw together in a short time.

I love the way that Lisp lends itself to incremental testing. You can discover most bugs just by testing functions at the REPL. If you plan to continue with Lisp (hooray!) then I would recommend becoming familiar with SLIME if you're not already.

'practical common lisp' was a lot of fun, introducing topics through a series of practical hacks.
