Comment on Lisp: More is less

Comments

The biggest problem with LISP is the lack of large organizations who use it.

C has all these problems as do C++, Java, Python, Ruby.

Google (ITA Software) is not large enough.

If one needs a large organization for a Lisp program, then something is wrong.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with the logic, it's just that our industry moves as a herd, if there aren't large orgs doing it it's hard to justify to manager types.

Manager types barely tolerate literate programmers, let alone someone who can make something that a mouth breathing moron can't understand.
