    Jao's old blog[1] is a treasure trove of information. Modern Lisp hackers like him, Zach Beane and Edi Weitz are great representatives for the Lisp community: incredibly talented and yet very humble and more than willing to help out those just starting out in Lisp.

    Jao, author of Geiser, talks about the impact they had on his development in his post A Scheme Bookshelf[1]. Are there any CL equivalents? [1] http://programming-musings.org/2007/01/31/a-scheme-bookshelf...

    Geiser is a great tool for working with Scheme, and the author jao (José A Ortega Ruiz) is a genuinely good guy. His old blog at http://programming-musings.org is full of Scheme goodness, and he has another site devoted to Emacs hacks at http://emacs.wordpress.com
