"The current generation of Lisp users is the last one" Hmm, I guess time will tell on that. The future is much harder to predict than most people realize. I'm guessing, though, that more successful large Lisp projects will keep the language alive and cause the conversion of more programmers to lisp. Our little startup converted one Java programmer over, and I can only imagine the impact ITA is having with its Orbitz product. Also, the move to more "semantic" approaches may also spark more interest in Lisp. We'll see.
