I've spent a significant amount of time/resources on the Lisp portability
issues in Axiom; I'm glad and sad to see Waldek had similar conclusions.
If you restrict your world sufficiently enough and you don't care about the
structure of the code you're working on, its maintainability, and the general
question of Axiom users, Lisp is not a problem.
