Finally using Lisp at work

I wrote my first Lisp program for work today.   Its a short program that traverses a huge file system (about 1 TB) and finds duplicate files and then prints a nice report showing file names, counts, space consumed, etc.   Ok, it does a little more than that but I can’t talk about the specifics .    Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing it and I finally got a good grasp of working with pathnames, which can be a little confusing in Lisp.  I also got to use quite a bit of my existing utility code like my table printer.

I hope to be able to write more Lisp code at work.  Its unlikely that I will be able to do anything big with it but the quick one-offs are very easy to sneak in without too much resistance!
