People forget for how long Lisp had an impact on AI, even outside GOFAI techniques; LeCun's early neural networks were written in Lisp: https://leon.bottou.org/publications/pdf/sn-1988.pdf

I don’t know - there’s real impact and then there’s inconsequential path dependency. This feels like the latter. The networks turned out to be valuable but LISP did not.
