error recovery (interactive debugger, restarts...), but not for
high-performance computing. There you probably want Fortran or C (and
maybe link them to Lisp).
surprised if an application written in Lisp (compiled) isn't a bit
slower than the same app written in C++ or Java. But of course nobody
writes an app in several languages...
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people
