HN loves LISP, there's a LISP (the entire family of languages) article quite often. It's a joke that goes around here and there - the fascination with LISP in this community. Also, I would not say there is any more hype for lisp now than 3 years ago. It's still an esoteric language to most, and one that few people actually bother learning these days. All the javascript articles are more "practical" because a wide audience uses them, but Lisp is a language most people only use at home or at uni.
