I have a few thoughts, but in reverence to your sincerity I will offer the example of Google Flights, which as far as I know is still written in Common Lisp. Now as for my thoughts: every so often when Lisp comes up there is someone who asks 'give me some examples of companies which use Lisp/software written in Lisp' followed by someone giving some examples. That's all good and well but then someone chimes in with the... rebuttal? 'Well, if you have to stretch so much to give examples of Lisp being used that means that it's a dead language not worth using.' ...Or, well, some variation on that theme. Of course I'm not saying your question is the lead-in to another exchange like this, but after seeing it a few times I get a bit tired of that back-and-forth and it makes me less eager to engage in discussion. I also don't really see the logic behind 'which companies use Lisp?' 'Here are companies that use Lisp:' 'Aha! If you have to list companies that use Lisp it means it's a dying, terrible language!' Imagine that exchange in a discussion of Rust or Python or Kotlin or whatever. Anyway, sorry for the derailment, just had to get that off my chest. But yeah, Google Flights, ITA Software, just one example of CL in use at a larger player.
