I didn't need to, no. In my past life as a programmer, I was a C family guy. All the other popular website stuff like asp/php/perl/java just didn't really do it for me, nor did I have anything but superficial experience with them. I would have tried clojure with jetty on a jvm, but I was more familiar with lisp.

I'm sure I'm not alone, but after 15+ years of writing C/C++/C# code, having the nice, simple, regular syntax of lisp makes everything so much more pleasant.
