The author didn't mention racket. Anyway, since the article is a few months old, I went to github and got the new data (as of today):
#20 - Emacs Lisp
#24 - Clojure
#25 - Racket
#35 - Scheme
#36 - Common Lisp
Interestingly, had PLT Scheme not been renamed into Racket, Scheme would probably be the most popular Lisp on Github.
- peatmoss 13y agoFor whatever reason, Racket has been the lisp that I sort of looked at last. Like many I-want-to-learn-lisp people, I went through a terrible survey of available options. I went through most of Practical Common Lisp, and then found Clojure. Recently, I've found Racket as the result of my wife deciding she'd learn a little programming via the introductory Coursera course taught in Racket. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Racket. Everything from its beginner-friendly environment, to its functional disposition, to the availability of decent libraries, to its research into new areas such as type systems, everything feels very nicely constructed. The only thing I really miss from Clojure is the syntactic support for maps and vectors, and the pervasive destructuring of said same.
