I've been using Common Lisp ... pretty much since it was a thing. So, yes, that must be almost 30 years, starting on a Symbolics.

And I've used it professionally pretty much that whole time, with occasional divergences to other languages for the odd project here and there.

Mostly AI stuff, a lot of symbolic computing, but other stuff as well.

Have a good weekend, all!

I’ve been a Lisper for about 15 years.

I have been using CL now for about 30 years. Professionally and avocationally, I use it for signal and image processing, cryptography, market trading and risk modeling, machine and instrument control, and just general math modeling.

Now, I guess, I am finally retired… so I support myself with Lisp and market trading. And, avocationally, I use it for music composition, sound processing, and astronomical image processing.

I am an old Astrophysicist who started with Forth and found Lisp as its natural evolution to what Forth always wanted to be…
