I’ve seen the programmer battles over programming paradigms in years past. They’ll pick inferior tech simply because it’s what they know.

I’d argue that alternatives to C/C++ exist, but they aren’t so C-Like, so nobody wanted to try them.

Unlike communism, Lisp has been successful at pretty much every place it’s been tried until someone showed up and demanded everyone change to their preferred language.

Ironically, WASM is the least usable “lisp” ever created because of its stack design.
