Oh my gosh. When are people going to give up and just admit that Lisp (=lisp-family) just wins? The list of dead contenders for The One True language is breathtakingly long, but it's Lisp that everyone eventually comes back around to. Even in the last decade we went thru PERL then Pyhton and now it's js. And everyone just keeps adding in more and more lisp to their language du jour (d'annee?) until, well, they just give up and build a lisp on top of it, like Clojure or Hy. Please let's just come together and get to where we've been headed for 50 years anyway.
