Probably because more people realize how powerful Lisp actually is.
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoLisp uses ASTs. Not all uses of ASTs are Lisp, though. And no matter how many people realize how powerful Lisp is, all ASTs still won't be Lisps. People realizing that Lisp is powerful does not fix the underlying logical fallacy.
- progman 12y agoI didn't claim that Lisp's CST (concrete syntax tree) is equivalent to C++'s AST. I just wanted to point out that more and more modern languages adopt features of Lisp, or try to embed Lisp. C++ praises lambda expressions as new feature while this feature has been around in the Lisp world for more than 50 years.
