Is there a general rule of thumb about the amount in percent that
a LISP programmer can make vs a C programmer with the same experience
in years.  For the sake of comparison I am allowing CLOS to
be compared to C++.

Somebody told me that as a rule LISP programmers got 66% of the
pay as C ones.

All I am looking for is a rough guide and some general observations
about what would affect or change this figure.

Thank you,

David Pollen,

This is only fair -- LISP programmers produce only 66% of the lines of
code of C programmers. :-)
