The only place LISP is eternal is on HN. A super-microscopic minority of engineers use it for real-world software development. The standard hasn't been updated for 2 decades. There is only one real compiler implementation. No WASM. No proper mobile support. Library support for real world tasks is abysmal. Common LISP's tomb is indeed shiny and eternal. Developers at HN will mourn at its graveyard for eternity. |

what kind of meaning of 'real' reduces the several compiler implementations to just one?
Example: I use two native code compilers (SBCL and LispWorks) on my Mac. Both are available on other platforms, too. Is one of those not 'real'?
What about, say, ECL or Allegro CL? Are they unreal?
