Subspace for the Lisp programming language
Loving PicoLisp — I've gone through a few PicoLisp phases, each very short -- a week or two. I would stumble around, grumble about its weirdnesses, and go back to Common Lisp. However, it is tiny (~380KB - a bit bigger than I remember). It is plenty fast - loading the SpellBinding dictionary for maintenance, sorting it, or processing it to find potential games, takes way less than a second! With CL I actually had to work to get duplicate elimination to go under 10 seconds... So it's really...

What is your favorite Lisp dialect? — List out your favorite Lisp dialect(s) and reason(s) why you like them, but also flaw(s) with them, if there are any.
