but the person i replied to replied to a commenter lamenting the fact that there was nothing but java and c style development jobs instead of lisp inspired jobs. they weren't lamenting the lack of jobs specific to just common lisp. and to me, it doesn't make sense to "sneak in" an esoteric implementation of lisp on the jvm when clojure already exists. what makes people think that would be easier to sell at a place using java heavily?
