Lisp is making a comeback
Lisp has been making a comeback since the 60s
That is very true, except in the form of other languages.
It is often said about Lisp (and also about Erlang) that other languages sometime in their lifetime implement some features of Lisp, but in an inferior way :)
Reminds me of a saying about GaAs semiconductors - “they’re the technology of the future, and they always will be.”
