You can use Lisp for scripts and websites. As for deployable applications, is that embedded systems? If so, Lisp should be perfect, it is *the* most portable language and even has an AI origin :) There is nothing in the language that prevents anyone from doing anything in any field. Just because it hasn't happened, or hasn't happened in a way or to an extent someone would wish, it doesn't follow the field and Lisp don't merge. The reason Lisp isn't more spread is because it is too good. Just like McDonald restaurants are more prolific than 5 star restaurants. Or maybe you can get only 4 stars, I actually never attended anyone... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
