It seems to me that it would be really (really, really) interesting to hear about the pros and cons of LW, ACL, SBCL, etc. vis-a-vis the "real world". I was in academia too long to really understand the real world but I think I've seen something like it on TV.
In any case, why would you recommend LW over ACL?
The short answer is license issues, CAPI, IDE. There's also a longer answer, but I'm too busy with other "real world" stuff right now and I don't think this is the right forum. One of these days, when I have more time, I'll probably write "Edi's Common Lisp FAQ" - now that we have Nikodemus' version... :)
