Fare, thank you for your contributions. Ever since your "jumping ship" article earlier this year, I too have considered doing the same. I have been mostly silently listening to your reasoning, but all of it hit home with me as well. While I haven't been using CL for very long -- a decade -- I believe the time has also come for myself to take what I have learned and switch my focus elsewhere. Good luck in your goals with Gerbil, and thank you for your contributions and giving me a lot to think about this past year.

Don't be discouraged, and don't stop trying.  Lisp has a long learning curve...
