what I meant, that "vast number of active, existing, highly skilled
Perl module writers and Perl program writers, Perl porters" might

be more Perl programmers around in a short time compared to Common
Lisp programmers. No?
The Lisp is unfortunately not the future and has never been in
large scale business programming.
