I think it's a nice article, no problem with it appearing for an umpteenth time again. Any article that speaks about Lisp is a good article for me!!

There are some pretty good points, however there are one or two things that i take issue to, because they can be misleading:

1. The "lone wolf Lisp hacker" is not the only kind of Lisp hacker. Lisp has been used on important codebases at space missions and there are codebases of million-lines Lisp code at work right now, for example for airline reservations.

There are some Lisp projects on GitHub being contributed to and forked. The amount is small because popularity of Lisp is small compared to the main languages GitHub users prefer (i.e. Java, JS, etc), but they do show there is collaboration between "lone wolves".

2. You write "Unless they pay thousands of dollars, Lisp hackers are still stuck with Emacs." I have used many IDEs (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ, and many Borland products) and the combination of Emacs + SLIME is pretty good, to be honest.
