Paul Graham released his language Arc, see here for the background and the January 29th, 2008 announcement.
Which brings us to this clever job posting for an Arc Developer:
Arc developer, seven+ years experience required.
It’s geek humor if you were around in the 90’s when recruiters were looking for Java developers with five to seven years of experience in a language that had only been publicly introduced in late-1995.

Ok, engaging in a bit of benign google-bombing/search-engine optimization/what-have-you here. The point is that Peter Seibel’s book, Practical Common Lisp, is a better starting point for learning Lisp than the list Marty Hall maintains but last updated in 1999. After a read through PCL the newbie can try tackling the titles Marty recommends.
