Which dialect was it and how did you do it?

Clojure is being used by some companies. If you count it as a real lisp.

yes, I did Common Lisp consulting for a decade, it was lucrative. the mistake is to go searching for office jobs (though they also exist). if you want to jump start a consultancy down size your life as much as you can and then go looking for projects. it's fairly easy to find a no questions asked (as far as stack) 30-40k project, where a single developer lisp will be a massive advantage. but the last one I did was closer to 700k, took two of us about 8 months, fintech.

go looking for projects

Explain this to me, RIGHT NOW. There's no monster.com or equivalent for projects like this, so I don't know where you would even start.

I'm pretty sure that when your a Lisp wizard, they will just contact you. I remember when David T. O’Toole author of Blocky went batshit paranoid and disappeared for some time because US Army asked him if he was interested in a position. It's in the w4c /prog/ archive if you want to read that story. Actually headhunters will give you a call even if you're merely a Ruby rock star.

I tried to look at that page but saw only inane comments. How is that relevant to this thread?

What do you mean job seeking threads about wannabe programmers in the industry isn't related to the thread's title?
