Big fan of Lispworks (Yes, there is a free version). Using it in production, as many others. Using Quicklisp in experiments. Not direct in my codebase. Lisp will always be there. Learning Lisp will make you a better programmer, while having

Fred is from a time where there were no other means to climb a chimney. He worked safely for that time period. Worlink in a lithium mine these days is more dangerous.

I use lispworks, the CAPI works well on allmost all platforms. They know what they are doing. Books: common lisp recipes, PAIP, ANSI COMMON LISP. The few libraries you need are very good.And you need Quicklisp. I stopped using C, C++, pasca

I'm using Lispworks. Good IDE, solid and CAPI is a great for development of IDE and graphics. Start using the free personal version and if you like it, get in touch with them, they will help you. I also like SBCL+Emacs+slime+org-mode.

Don't forget CommonLisp Recipes by Edmund Weitz. Best Lisp book in years.
