State of play?

I've been in a split world of real code in MCL and parallel threads 
of exploration in CCL for more than a year.  With news that Snow 
Leopard may not support PPC systems, I'm reminded that more G5 
hardware failure may make my lisp coding days on Mac problematic.

What news of progress with MCL?  Am I hearing echoes in a dark 
chamber of legacy ... (I can see the shadow of my pension (Symbolics 
iron) far down in there already).

Finding the art of falling in love with Hemlock a tab counter 
intuitive (not helped by Clozure's being elsewhere occupied than on 
their IDE at present).  But that and diving into the Cocoa labyrinth 
seem the only visible glimmers at the moment.  Or get more serious 
about Lispworks.

I've long felt that investment in pure CLOS and OpenGL might last a 
while before Apple and it's NeXT 6 shooter blow my investments out of 
the water.  But just now, even those anchors don't seem so safe 
(complexity and lack of robustness anywhere are not encouraging).

Alex, how is Open Agent Engine going?

Anyone care to review the state of play?
Or has everyone gone off into the iPhone SDK sandbox!
