From Rainer Joswigs blog: Franz has made their Common Graphics based IDE available on Linux. The IDE is the Integrated Development Environment. It works in concert with a windowing system called Common Graphics. It has been available on MicroSoft Windows machines since its inception. It is now available, in a very early release form, on x86 Linux platforms running Allegro CL 7.0. 4:04:06 PM

A review of Practical Common Lisp on Slashdot. In a discussion about it on comp.lang.lisp, the maintainer of one of the sites mentioned in the review notes how the Lisp based server handled the slashdotting: 72000 + hits from that slashdot article on a cliki using a serve-event listener on a UML instance with 128mb RAM, and it stayed solid... Lisp is "practical" indeed :) 3:59:15 PM
