It’s in LISP. Which has had fifty-five freaking years to catch on and become mainstream
I dislike how a lot of people keep saying that Lisp is 50+ years old when they talk about Common Lisp or Clojure or whatever. Non of the modern Lisps are even close to that old. That's like saying that Ruby is 50+ years old because you can trace it back to algol and fortran. Sure, the original Lisp may be that old, but the modern dialects in the Lisp family are just that: dialects in the Lisp family. They're new languages and just because they kinda look like the original (and really only kinda) doesn't mean that they had fifty-five freaking years to catch on. Clojure has had only about five years, for example.
