The latter. Lisp is too academic for anyone to care to do it. Compilers need to be dogfooded, i.e., the people who work on it also write non-compiler programs with the compiler. TypeScript and Emscripten are mature because they are used to create real web applications. No one uses Lisp to write regular applications, much less web applications. Web applications in Lisp are unlikely to be its hidden niche after all these years, so very few people bother altogether.

Here is another: https://wigflip.com/signbot/ https://wigflip.com/signbot/. And another: https://wigflip.com/roflbot/ https://wigflip.com/roflbot/. (Base domain is https://wigflip.com/ https://wigflip.com/). Grammarly is Lisp.
