Many times this ch oice is hard because of a number of entrenched limitations of the CL ( or simply Lispy) world: lack of many agreed upon, modern and portable extensions, and lack of new programmers being the most visible. Yet, t his talk will argue that the situation has improved and that CL is eve n more "the right mix" for many researchers in the sciences, and, in p articular, in the fields I have been working for a few years.\n\nFor C L, being the right mix comes from the strenghts of the standard and of the nature itself of the language. The ability to build code with mor e than decent numerical performance and the ability to morph in any (d eclarative) DSL are the key characteristics that make CL the right too l for many of the sciences.\n\nBioinformatics and Systems Biology are two relatively broad terms that serve to describe a number of system a nd algorithmic solutions to problems stemming from the needs of biolog ists and clinicians. Very roughly speaking, these terms cover the rang e from "sequence analysis" (DNA, RNA, and protein) to statistical inte rpretation of "high throughput experiments" (micro-array and new ion-t rap protein studies), to model simulation and testing of metabolic, re gulatory and signaling pathways. The numerical capabilities of CL do f it well with these problems. On the other end, these problems require the support of many data manipulation, sharing and, above all, descrip tion systems that nowadays are continuously crystallized in different "ontologies" and "controlled vocabularies" which are then rendered in XML/RDF. CL systems for solving such "representation" task predate all of these efforts and it should come to no surprise that Lisp-based sy stems provide a very good platform to build more expressive DSL's capa ble of improving the inference capabilities of the tools needed by bio logists and physicians.\n\nAt this point in time, the "basic library" situation for CL is good enough to support its use in the field. CLSQL and XML parsing libraries are the basis for such use. Numerical libra ries abound, as well as web development frameworks. Writing inference engines and DSL's has never been a problem for CL programmers and rese archers. It is therefore a well founded conclusion that CL is a "well mixed solution" for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, life, universe and everything else. It just needs to be put together.\n\nMarco Anton iotti is an Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Informatica Sis temistica e Comunicazione, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, I taly.
