Lisp is an excellent language for certain application domains. In particular,
areas such as machine learning, deductive databases, language design and
implementation, etc. I have worked on one Lisp application that has a 3-year
track record of making stock picks that outperform the S&P 100, as well as most
money managers (yet, it's a balanced fund). See http://www.korns.com for more
info on a real-world Lisp application that produces something a great deal more
negotiable than beauty.
