``If you studied Lisp in college and came away with the impression that it was only an academic language with no real-world application, chances are you learned Scheme."
Common Lisp may have better tools, but it's made of legacy and hack, and its Lisp-2 nature is annoying and dishonourable (a Lisp, yet not purely first-class functions). On the other hand, some have extended Scheme with a lot of portable utilities, and this is why I prefer PLT Scheme.
That said, I use Lisp to achieve Satori and mindfap, but for actual work I do Python.

This a problem with the leap from 2D to 3D is that 3D is a race to reality and the returns on effort diminish quickly.
