I don't get the "fewer libraries/modules is a good thing". I like using libraries where some has already encountered and created work-arounds for all of the edge cases for a really domain specific problem I'm not very familiar with so that I can focus on business logic. Am I missing something? What's fast about blindly discovering a bunch of stumbling blocks that you never imagined existed?
All that said, I'm a fan of lisps, I've just never used one in production.
