I've read SICP (so I know how to Scheme) and I want to devote a week to learning Common Lisp before moving on to real languages.

You don't understand. I know only Scheme and before I learn real stuff I want to have some fun (don't worry, I have a lot of time).

CL sucks, like Scheme, because it isn't functional.

Computations which carry state. Nothing like GOTO.

no u!!!!!
Anyway, monads are nothing special. They just allow passing a value along with a computation, and to abort a chain of computations.

CL is boring and ugly and huge. Why would you want to learn it?

Because it's awesome, easy to use, has CFFI, and it's fast? idk.
But it will take more than a week to learn to use loop.

All's they do is put sideband data on function calls. You can
use them for lots of stuff, but they aren't anything more than that.
