“Nobody” is a bit extreme, don't you think? There are a lot of people building things with Lisp and you're dismissing their work out of hand. Just one example

“Nobody” is a bit extreme, don't you think? There are a lot of people building things with Lisp and you're dismissing their work out of hand. Just one example of a powerful software product written in Lisp: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ (my contribution to this work is a graphical frontend, also written in Lisp: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dhsdevelopments.Climaxima https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dhsdevelopments.Climaxi...)

"Nobody" in the sense that no numbers are rational. You can name lots of them, many of them your best friends, but the probability that a number chosen at random, in any interval, is rational is exactly zero.

  That only works in the limit where n tends to infinity. I know there is a lot of garbage software out there, and sometimes it does feel like there is an infinite supply of them. But as bad as it is, it's still a finite number.

    FWIW, I like Maxima.
