Here in Hamburg the local Transit district (HVV = Hamburger Verkehrs Verbund for 3.67 Million people) is also offering a version where the employer pays a share of the 49 Euros. Thus the monthly cost for a Germany-wide regional transport ti

For him it's a text editor, that's how he sees it, since the Lisp underneath is not touched by him. True, some extensive modes written in Lisp by users are a work of art. That's a layer a non-programming-user may not see.

Basically any Expert System Shell in Lisp in the 80s/90s was a multi-paradigm programming system (ART, KEE, KnowledgeCraft, KnowledgeWorks, Babylon, and many others). There were also a bunch of functional/relational languages like

The market is small anyway. Better have customers at all. Mabe the customers are not "locked in", but happy that there are remaining offerings. See the pricing for commercial Smalltalk. Same thing.

The Java license costs per employee. Not per developer. That's an entirely different business model in a very different market for a very different tool. It's a bit like claiming that your AMG Mercedes has a different pricing than

Also processor licenses, library costs for devs, etc. I recently stumbled over a Java domain specific development system (for insurance), where the dev seat did cost 100k euros. Franz and LispWorks has different licensing models for compani

Keep in mind that IntelliJ was developed for a market which is three or four orders of magnitude larger: devs, investments, etc. That is an entirely different business model then. Compare for example commercial Smalltalk (VisualWorks, Objec

In Racket the 'language orientation' is a part of the philosophy and the language & implementation & infrastructure is especially and prominently developed to support that. This can for example be used in education. In SBC

You need to have ASDF itself loaded into your Lisp. Yes one can also load system definitions, they are Lisp code. But usually it is expected that they are found automatically, when calling a system operation (load, compile, ...), when regis

It took a while to get there. One would think of end 80s / early 90s. Remember, there were probably only around 10000 (ten thousand, not ten thousands) Lisp Machines ever produced. A 40 bit Ivory 3 processor from Symbolics was basicall
