I think the main things that's happened is that many languages and frameworks coalesced to fill the void PG and Morris probably used lisp to such great advantage; ie building featureful, performant web apps. In the mid 90's there was perl I guess. Nowadays there's python, php, ruby/rails, etc.. with all their frameworks and environments. Mak
