Just be sure to read all the posts in the thread. I think some people who can assure you about Lisp are (and there are probably others): Pascal Costanza, Peter Siebel, and Ken Tilton.

Greetings fellow Lispers,
My first post to the group. This place has been dormant for a while,
but it'll be good to know some fellow Indian Lispers.
There's been a bit of criticism of CL over the past few weeks -
starting with Steve Yegge, and then the usenet post by Ron Garret,
etc. I am quite new to Lisp(a bit over six months), so I haven't got
much of an opinion yet. But i am interested in knowing what you people
feel about it? Anything particularly bad with CL?
I've found CL to be better than anything I've programmed in
before(which means C/C++ & BASIC)... but it would be better still to
know its faults (and nasty traps - like eval's scope).
Thanks,
Chaitanya
