First, we need to lose the commas. But more importantly, as much
as we all love it, "code" is *not* what the manager or the customer
or the user wants -- it's *solutions*! ...except that "solution"
has been usurped by the marketeers. (*sigh*) How about this:
From Intention to Thought to Code to another Really Hard Problem
solved -- *quickly*, through the interactive power of Common Lisp.
And if you need a longer one, append the following the the above
[or use it separately elsewhere]:
Let Peter Seibel guide your journey of discovery into one of the
best-kept secrets in modern programming.
[The "your" here makes the reader an active participant in the
"discovery" of the "secret". Everybody likes to think of themselves
as one of the few special insiders, yes?]
