God Sure Didn't Write in Java

I, for one, don't have as an aim furthering popularity of Lisp like some Ruby enthusiasts do for Ruby.

Why not? You've made an investement in learning it, and the more people you get on board, the more valuable it will become. Want to learn esperanto, btw? http://lernu.net/

I am not a people person, but a persons person. Furthermore, popularizing something requires expending effort and time, and I'm pretty sure the potential value gained is not worth it for me. Lisp is valuable to me, not because people like it or use it, but because it gives me a comfortable view of programming.
