Right!  When I get some more time, I will start porting my chess program from
C to Common Lisp.  I don't expect to see more than a 10-30% slowdown, and
the flexibility, elegance, easy debugging and general ease of use of this
Mother of All Programming Languages should more than compensate for the
small loss of speed.  Has anybody else tried developing a chess program in
Common Lisp?
