- pjmlp 4y agoLisp was Python in the first AI wave, and having it failing to meet expectations burned many bridges. Commercial software + hardware required to comfortably run Lisp Machines was more expensive than UNIX workstations. Having paid for UNIX workstations, most shops would just use C and C++ instead of paying for commercial Lisp packages on top, plus scripting languages like Tcl and Perl brought a bit of Lisp like experience into UNIX. Eventually most of the stuff that made Lisp awesome ended up in Smalltalk, Java. .NET, Dylan, Julia, Python however there is still plenty missing from the whole experience.

- slowmovintarget 4y agoThe whole Clojure ecosystem is another worth considering, including systems like Datomic, and Datomic Cloud (commercial product and SaaS product respectively).
