did you work with lisp day-to-day or just find the derived programming principles to be super valuable?

In my current role, no lisp day-to-day; but I do use it for fast prototyping. Definitely, the derived principles are super valuable and the ROI on effort spent in learning Lisp is most likely permanent, a rare ROI.
