... be sure to look on page 38 of the June issue of Dr. Dobb's to see
the blurb about Practical Common Lisp from the Jolt awards. (Also
available at <http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/187900423?pgno=4>.) Or
more to the point, point it out to your Lisp-sceptic friends. Look Ma,
mainstream approval!

That'll have to wait, they all just went out for a dip in the skeptic tank.

Congrats on the exposure. :)

Thanks for writing a book that changed the industry's view on Lisp
as a purely AI language. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
If there is a boost in Lisp's popularity it is mostly due to you.
We need more technical writers to teach the tools of the trade.

(Loop for black-belter's - is my favorite.. I never saw the full extent of  
loop
  even used before it got published.)
