Yeah, I think that most programming language developments since the '70s have involved putting some ideas from C and Lisp in a blender for a few minutes. The main advances IMO have come in the areas of IDEs, build systems, and language ecosystems. I'm a mediocre programmer at best who's done a bunch of Lisp in the past. I loved using it, but these days I rely on Ruby for getting things done because it gives me what I need from Lisp backed up with a package system that just works. I'd rather work in Lisp, but I can make more progress in Ruby.
