the thing i remember most from comp.lang.lisp was someone defining a truly great language as one that could get you to take a job simply to work with it, irrespective of the actual problem being worked on.
I once took a job working on a product I had a moral objection to -- on a platform I despise (windoze embedded) -- simply because I'd be working in Common Lisp.
