In regard to getting up and running in Windows, the smoothest FOSS alternative is Lispcabinet. It allows multiple Lisps to be installed (e.g. it will install Clisp, closure, and sbcl), it integrates all of them with SLIME, and installs GNUemacs along with many useful utilities. It is about as painfree as anything which requires learning Emacs can be.<p>LispIDE is another Windows option. It is very minimal but doesn't require dealing with emacs.<p><a href="http://lispcabinet.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://lispcabinet.sourceforge.net/</a><p><a href="http://www.daansystems.com/lispide/" rel="nofollow">http://www.daansystems.com/lispide/</a>
I have a question to all LISPers out there. It's just, cause I really don't know. I read a bit about LISP, but never used it or anything. Anyway. Here it is:<p>Why not Scheme?
Great start! I wish You a lot of sales. Just an idea: maybe You should present some Lisp web projects you've developed to give Your buyers an idea of what it's like to run Lisp web apps.
