We like it very much, and working with the people at Clozure is a joy. @joswig: Yes, we are indeed using Clozure Common Lisp (CCL, formerly known as OpenMCL) for the airline reservation system.

It would be nice if you could mention that. I'll link this webblog to the Wikipedia entry of CCL. Thanks. Dan, you are using Clozure CL for the Airline Reservation System, right?

How about lispcast.net or lispconf.net ? This can be a place where all videos, papers and interviews from lisp conferences can be posted ... If you check out the communities around Java, Python ... , All of their content is instantly available. Just a suggestion. Don't you'll think something like this is way due for lisp, and its community ? I offer to get things started (register the domain, design the initial version of the site, post content ...) ... Im sure things will take of on its own from there ... Slicehost seems to be an affordable way and nice place to host this ...

So if anyone is "wrong" here, it's those of us who write it in mixed case. But I decided some years ago to write "Fortran", "Cobol", "Refine", etc. etc. -- any programming language name that's pronounceable as a word -- in mixed case. So I stick to that. (In formal documents I am willing to use small caps for these, but I'm not going to bother in casual writing.) @Steve Scaffidi: I understand that John McCarthy, the inventor of Lisp, still prefers “LISP” in all caps, and has spoken out against the mixed-case version.

Perl is most properly spelled just like that: 'Perl'. I do admit, I'm guilty of the same thing - I've been mistakenly spelling Lisp in all caps, and seeing that you use 'Lisp' I am happy to correct my habit in the future :) Just thought I’d mention – I noticed when somebody pointed it out on another blog and I know you’re one to appreciate accuracy… Perl is most properly spelled just like that: ‘Perl’.
