There is a price to pay for a better programming language. C++ is fast and crashes fast. Its data structures are at the same time complex and inflexible. Many Lisp dialects are tuned for flexibility and some add a bit of performance to it. C++ comes from a different angle. It provides more performance, but it is fully inflexible. Still people can do interesting stuff. For example the Crash Bandicoot games for the early Playstation were written in a low-level Lisp dialect with an external compiler implemented in Common Lisp. It ran on a tiny Playstation with cute graphics and sold very well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Bandicoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Bandicoot
