Lately, Joel on Software's discussion forums have been a hotspot for Lisp discussions, probably because Joel's been learning Lisp and hanging out with Paul Graham from time to time. There's a thread today called Lisp Lovers, how would you fix Lisp or bring it up to date?.

I'd like to ask the same question to people who hang out here. I think it would be best to keep the answers to the question at Joel's forum so it's all in one place.

I've posted my reply to Joel's forum. Please comment on it if you have any thoughts.
