It’s not super common anymore but it is used.

Some examples:

• Clojure which runs on the JVM enjoys considerable popularity.

• Common Lisp seems to be popular amongst Quantum Computing researchers.

• Racket enjoys popularity by way of the Pollen Typesetting Engine.

• Emacs Lisp is used for all Emacs scripting.

• AutoLisp is used to script code for AutoCAD

• HackerNews is written in ArcLisp.

• Square Enix employs a proprietary dialect as a scripting language.

Many GNU programs come with a builtin Scheme interpreter (gdb, for example).

You mean GNU Guile?

[eatonphil]

Yep [0]. However GIMP does not use Guile, it uses TinyScheme for it's Script-Fu [1].

It’s not popular among quantum computing groups. We largely use python. It’s popular in a group inside rigetti.

Neither of them is Rigetti.

The first seems like a nonserious thing and D-Wave is a crank company.

[mike_ivanov]

Aye, no TRUE quantum computing company (except for Rigetti) wid dae that!

I guess I assumed Stylewarning was representative, although I'm not surprised at the use of python, I probably would've expected that had I not seen Stylewarning's video.
