But I've not been in Seattle since 2007, and the last time I remember attempting to do something with a lisp community was in a similar time period. I remember there being some guy who had worked on a lisp distro packaging technology, me getting on his mailing list, and me getting kicked off his mailing list. I probably said something about how I thought a packaging system should work.<br></div><span class=""><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> That would be rather sad.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>It's still sad.<br><br>Actually I say I'm designing my own language now, something "better than assembly code".

New generations learn their own things, and although they may use many design ideas of lisp, they're just not going to use Common Lisp for the most part. For instance, Julia claims some lisp ancestry. <a href="http://julialang.org/">http://julialang.org/</a><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br>Brandon Van Every<br></div></div></div></div>
