The tiobe index has lisp in the top 20 (at 13th) while Haskell is at 33rd, so lisp is more popular than Haskell even though lisp is over a half century old. Being in the top twenty after 50 years looks like the very definition of "survivor" to me.
- papsosouid 14y agoLisp isn't a language, it is a whole bunch of languages. Lumping half a dozen languages together obviously moves it up the list. Being old is working in its favour, not against it. Older languages have more written about them purely because of the time they've existed. Pick a specific lisp and try your comparison again.
