Lisp development is niche, but has sufficient use so that languages like Common Lisp, Clojure, and Racket will hopefully be supported and enjoyed for a long time.
The author hits on the sore point of available libraries to hit APIs and I would add access to deep learning infrastructure. I use the Hy language (hylang, has a Clojure style syntax) that is built on Python (you can get a copy of my Hy book for free, the minimum price is free https://leanpub.com/hy-lisp-python https://leanpub.com/hy-lisp-python), but I still like Common Lisp as my main driver.
Anyway, I consider myself to be very fortunate to have about half of my career since 1982 use Lisp languages.
