> Could it be that Lisp is not dead because the people that started learning programming when it was popular are not dead? I think that this kind of questions is derived from some kind of ignorance of one mathematical principle. If some mathematical law is discovered - it works, no matter how many active users it has. Lisp will never be like Python 2 which is definitely dead by all measures. A word "Lisp" as a name of programming language does not even have a certain implementation because "Lisp" is not "Common Lisp" or "Lisp 1.5". The word "Lisp" is just an idea, an extremely rigorous mathematical idea, this kind of things will never die.
