I don't know precisely what your data structures are,
of course, but one of my "woooowwwwwww" moments with
lisp was when i had a big complex data structure and i
wanted to write it to disk. I tried:
(with-open-file (o ..)
(format o "~d " my-big-structure))
and i could read the whole thing back in later with a
simple (read )

This is a shame. The fragmentation really hurts lisp,
IMO. I'd love to write some lisp code for a work
project, i have that degree of flexibility, but it has
to do a substantial amount of threading and sockets
and be portable. So, c, here i come! Ack!!
