Lisp conference. An (International) Lisp conference, is coming up to San Francisco, October 27-October 31. Very tempting. Well known Lisp people will give talks. Browsing the list of speakers I found out about newLISP, a Lisp interpreter that I've never heard of before (and I thought I've seen them all). Sometimes I think that a reason for Lisp's lack of popularity is frightening number of implementations, none of them quite polished enough for really serious use (I'm talking about the free ones; the commercial ones seem to be very polished but they are also so expensive, that their price isn't even published on the web site).
