Thanks for good information, but it wasn't what I asked about. :-)
Lots of the standard scripting jobs out there could be done at least as well with lisp, so why aren't many of them? (For instance, there has been good interpreting and compiling environments for Lisp since the 1980s? 1970s?)
(I didn't have any Common Lisp courses, I studied another lisp. I learned CL by myself.)
The argument that Lisp is too complicated for the average programmer is clearly nonsense: Anyone smart enough to use C++ to a professional standard is certainly smart enough to use Lisp. It's just sour grapes.

Edit: A bit of syntax.
