Yep, I'm aware of Lisp on Lines.  Aside from the similarly alliterative
names, my project doesn't actually have too much in common with
drewc's.  The goal of Lisp on a Ladder is mainly an educational one -
to provide an easy way for people familar with Rails to get involved
with Lisp and to write some applications in it (so the name is kind of
a (n unintentional) reference to its purpose; it's a ladder to an
understanding of Lisp).  It isn't meant to be a framework for real
applications; instead, it will be more like a case study in Lisp
programming for those who are unfamiliar with it.  Also, the folks who
argue against Lisp will *finally* not be able to claim that "Lisp isn't
practical, because it doesn't have anything like Rails."  That gets
really tiresome.
