I don't really code in Lisp any more, I never felt a need for loop when I was coding in Lisp, and I'm trying to move towards a style of programming without loops (i.e. I'm playing with Haskell, which doesn't have loops), giving me even less need for a hairy loop macro. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
