Lisp for Websites, or just Lisp in General

Anyone have experience using Lisp in conjunction with the web? If not, anyone have experience with Lisp in general? After reading Paul Graham's Hackers & Painters, I *oddly* feel the urge to play with it.

Yeah! i have played with LISP before... believe me I haven't seen a language syntax as intimidating as LISP

everything is a function there... e.g.
Code: Select all
(+ 1 2) //add
(- 9 8) //sub
(princ "n00b Saibot") //print
PS: I forgot how to comment

And here I was always thinking LISP is pronounced LITHP.

I'm familiar with the syntax and I don't think it's that intimidating... Well, if it is intimidating, it's at least intriguing also.
Why hasn't anyone done any web programming with LISP! Someone get neilsene in here, I bet he has.

I have done programming in LISP while using AutoCAD with my former employer. They had to automate building a big project's reports & plans which always took about a month to complete manually(using AutoCAD). After I completed this automation, they would do it in half an hour flat. I got 250% raise and a hearty applaud by boss. Boy, was I happy that day

So sad their project was completed and they went off...

Sounds like fun all around: programming in a new language, getting a 250% raise and applause from the boss, and making a process more efficient. Congrats.

I tell you it was really fun all around as you put it... but now I knida long for the days when I used to program nearly all different languages... now I'm kinda stuck to PHP (& ASP) in my current job

I really enjoyed programming in Perl & Python... now I do enjoy facing new challenges in my job itself but its becoming kinda monotonous now
