Now we have some pointers: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ There are big names and companies in a diversity of areas. > lack of intuitiveness towards Julia syntax that's a great thing about Lisp > Lisp could never break out into the mainstream. yes it did in the 80s, it has been on top 3 of the Tiobe index for many years. It's ranked 25 this month, before Rust, Julia, Haskell, Scala, Lua, Elixir, Clojure… funny right? Yes the Tiobe index doesn't measure very meaningful stuff. Why not Julia and why Lisp? I collected some feedback: https://gist.github.com/vindarel/15f4021baad4d22d334cb5ce2bec088a https://gist.github.com/vindarel/15f4021baad4d22d334cb5ce2be... The REPL, the static checks, the binaries/deployment options, the stability, the load times, the ecosystem… are weaker in Julia. This quote makes me wonder: > This means there is an upper bound to how good the editing and refactoring tooling will be. I suspect the best will be a little below Pythong's tooling, because Python's class helps in disambiguating methods.
