And most of the written material is that old. AFAIK, there are only
two Lisp books written in the past decade or so: Seibel and Barski.

I probably live 120 miles from the nearest Lisp programmer, but I run
into Perlistas on a monthly basis. I probably know a dozen or so guys
that write Java, or .NET, or C++ in my wider circle of friends. Lisp?
I don't know a soul.

The CL community is small, fractured, and inarticulate. This isn't
good for the health of the language.
