A LISPer doing system programming ought to use FORTH :-P

Sorry - couldn't resist.  Believe it or not, FORTH and LISP share a 
lot of the best qualities (though FORTH doesn't use lists or garbage 
collection).

I've been using FORTH almost as long as I've been trying to learn LISP 
- except FORTH dialects (and differences) are practically inevitible, 
whereas Common LISP is Common LISP.
