A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

The main reason I've been considering a switch is this: my experience with interactive development with Chez has been less than awesome.

haven't read the rest of the post, but i wonder if he considered using guile. guile+emacs+geiser has been providing me a pretty good experience

edit: should've read the entire thing

(To be fair, Guile Scheme has pretty decent support for interactive development. However, Guile + Geiser cannot do to stack traces what SBCL + SLIME can.)
