So? Don't you agree that today Common Lisp is the most important
representative of the Lisp family? And anyway, I was at last year's
ELS and Scheme got its fair share. There were also one or two talks
about SKILL (a proprietary Lisp dialect), a presentation about
software engineering, and a talk about the future of Lisp, among
others, so Common Lisp wasn't that prevalent. If you'd like to talk
about a specific Lisp dialect, submit a paper, it's open to everyone
as far as I know.

but anyway, there being a bias in the PC's background doesn't mean
there is one in the paper selection, and I can assure you that there is
none.

Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.

No doubt you're right. Your parent's complaint stems from the fact that
his favored language is newlisp. Why it is that papers submitted to an
academic conference on lisp languages are unlikely to use newlisp is
left as an exercise for the reader.[1]

[1] Maybe its because newlisp is a language which has dynamic scope by
default, integers which silently wrap, and no real possibility of
compilation because its macros are actually fexprs.

What criteria are you using to associate a specific Lisp dialect with
each person ?
