"How many lisp programmers do you have out there as compared to python or ruby programmers?"
This one is a tired argument. Any good programmer will grok Lisp (or Python, or Ruby). If your Python/Ruby programmers can't get Lisp from a couple days of training, then they are not good programmers.
And, BTW, I would risk betting they are writing FORTRAN code in Python and Ruby.
