disagree ;) This industrial language is Common Lisp.
Some industrial uses:
- http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html
- https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/
- https://lisp-lang.org/success/ https://lisp-lang.org/success/
Example companies: Intel's programmable chips, the ACL2 theorem prover (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2015.0399 https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2015.039...), urban transportation planning systems (SISCOG), Quantum Computing (HRL Labs, Rigetti…), big data financial analysis (Ravenpack, they might be hiring), Google, Boeing, the NASA, etc.
ps: Python competing? strong disagree^^
(edit) on using a CL library that adds Haskell-like type checking on top of CL to develop an industrial quantum compiler: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20220906-quantum-compiler/ https://coalton-lang.github.io/20220906-quantum-compiler/
- bmitc 3y agoThose industrial use lists are way out of date though. Many of the companies don't exist anymore, last I checked. And the presence of companies using Common Lisp doesn't really negate my comment. It certainly has its niches, which is probably what it is best at. But I highly doubt one could convince, at the outset of the project, a company that chose Elixir to instead use Common Lisp, for example. There are lots of companies actively using Elixir. > ps: Python competing? strong disagree^^ I pretty strongly dislike Python, but we have to admit that any language today is competing against it in terms of mindshare, despite several languages being much better designed.
