Well perfect, do give LFE a try. I know of a few commercial users of it. You might be able to transfer some of the ideas and skills from lisp but also learn about processes and mailbox and such, without seeing a completely new syntax.

Heh, sorry.

I've dabbled in it a couple of times, because I'd also like to do some work with it, but haven't gotten very far. By all means give it a shot if it'll scratch your itch.
