You don't see it, you just use it. When you have a problem, you file a bug. When the day comes that you start porting SBCL so it'll flash into a BIOS (!) then you can, and probably should, start thinking of eating your own dogfood on the OS front. Hopefully other people will join you, either for the ride or the bug reports, even if not to help with the coding.

Perhaps in the same spirit that Larry Wall espouses the virtues of Laziness, Impatience and Hubris, you could just be smug and know that they're wrong? > Anyway, some features I'd like to see: diff'ing between versions, > less html, and a less cumbersome anti-spam facility. +N.
