Neat. I use it for things like linesearch and regularization (in optimization),

As a fellow Indian lisper, are you by any chance using CL for work ?

Last I heard, the only big CL shop, cleartrip, moved all their codebase to Ocaml.

Nah, not using CL for work these days :-(

I used to work at Cleartrip a long time back, before they moved off Lisp.

Ah, that's too bad :( CL is very very underrated as a language.

Any insider info on why cleartrip moved away from Lisp ?

Since it happened after I left, I am not privy to the exact reasons for the move. However, I guess they were worried about their Lispers moving away (which to some degree had already happened) and them not being able to find new ones.
