Well, two of us so far. But two good ones. And two is a lot when it 
comes to Lisp. :)

Absolutely. First class functions, untyped variables, association 
lists... we're right at home.

Shucks, no. Have you heard of CLOS? Multiple inheritance, multimethods, 
metaclass hacking. Very popular, tho Paul Graham (see "Arc") and Dick 
Gabriel hate OO.

A few years ago someone even gave a talk at the bi-annual Lisp 
conference saying JS *was* Lisp and we should switch to that. Not well 
received, I must admit. :)
