LISP Resurgence  As much as I'd love to see a resurgence in LISP there are two practical considerations (at least) that seem to prevent it: - Intrinsic support on majority of platforms   (Java sort of has this problem as it is and it had a much   bigger push than LISP ever did) - Writing good LISP programs is hard.  It's the old   efficiency problem.  I've seen many an average programmer   write terrible LISP programs. Until there's a way around those problems I don't have high hopes for LISP ever entering the mainstream (more so than it already has). 11:13:22 AM    comment []
