I think requiring your startup in lisp also keeps the type of engineers away you don’t want.

In all of my career, it’s not those who know who have been good. It’s those who know how to learn new things fast that are good. It’s people who problem solve that make good engineers.

In the inverse. If somebody has a negative reaction to lisp, it’s a sign of a poor engineer.

It is not poor engineering to prefer a statically typed language. If you want something exotic I would take Haskell over lisp any day.
