Having not seen a post here for a long time, here's one apropos the Lisp CD that never really took off. Bill Clementson blogs about "Lisp with Batteries...
Alok, Thanks for your continued interest. I was disheartened in this group's discussion about putting together a Lisp CD-ROM because it seemed like our focus...
Hello all, ... Personally, I think a bootable CD is not a good idea.It is very difficult to work in an environment which boots from a CD. Emacs and friends...

i agree. the bootable CD is not a good idea. in any case, clisp can be easily installed on both windows and linux what i would like on such a CD is nice...
Er, by `command-line-Lisp-startup', I meant the environment starts up from the command line. If someone can think of a good way to make a GUI-oriented startup...
... I must say I agree with this sentiment. It's a lot of effort. The old wiki page [1] is still up with the discussion, such as it was. ... I have the SICP...
... If you're targeting the people on this list, then I doubt you will find many people. You can have a quick poll on who here doesn't have everything on that...
Roshan, I seldom run across anyone who really even wants to look at Lisp -- even for a 5 - 10 minute demo. On the other hand, if I have a Lisp project going,...
Alok, Hmm. How did you choose the lispniks mailing list as a venue for your question? I kind of like comp.lang.lisp. I asked some questions there recently and...
... um, I don't get you. Are you suggesting that the answers from cl-faq were neither wonderful nor deeply considered ? I spoke to a couple of friends and they...
Alok, ... No, I wasn't implying exactly that. It just seems c.l.l. is also a good place to ask good Lisp questions and a good, appropriate question there might...
... Would be a lot easier (And a lot more takers?) if the CD/DVD was just copied on informally for free (of cost). -- Prashanth Mohan http://prashblog.com...
... Yes, I do think that it is that simple. I have not asked on c.l.l. I don't think that the answer would be substantially different from the one Pascal gave...
... I offered a CD with just source packages (from the wikipage) some time ago but found no takers. I guess the intersection of the set if poeple with...
Alok, I appreciate your comments and like your positive spin on the reasons for you're getting few takers. ... Now I am really beginning to like the demo idea,...
Prashanth, I'm not sure. Anyway, I suppose one could just carry around the CD-ROM with me all the time. I carry around so much else, anyway. Now I need ideas...
Hi all, I am interested to know how much development anyone is doing based on lisp. Wondering what is happening with lisp in bangalore. Thanks and Regards, -vk...
Vijay, I was doing a few projects in Common Lisp, but it hardly seemed the company could digest them. The projects were a success in my eyes, but I don't think...
Tom, Thats true. Maybe pple are not much used to more declarative languages. Project managers are used to c, java or sorts and thats what wins the race. But I...

... True. But again, lispers have their own level of thought processes that go compared to a java guy. True java is sellable now, where as lisp sort of is a ...
And Lisp will still be around 100 years from now because its 7 magic axioms are like a law of nature. Java won't be around 100 years from now, if the past 50...

Alok, I would also like to know why, since you say you want hackers, are you telling what languages they have to use? Are you the bigger hacker? I have created...
