- epolanski 2y agoThat's not a strong argument. That's like saying world hunger does not exist because you had lasagna for dinner.
- fiddlerwoaroof 2y agoHow about the existence of major pieces of software written in Common Lisp? For example, American Express fraud detection was and maybe still is done by a CL program. Google Flights uses ITA Software’s CL flight search system. Emacs is widely used and contains a lot of lisp. I think basically no languages have failed or succeeded for technical reasons: generally, marketing and inertia explains the tech stack better than DX or theoretical superiority.
