i feel like #lisp is dying more and more. the more AI is used by people the more irrelevant becomes the programming language.

@metalisp Why?

It seems to me, on the contrary, that #Lisp is in as good health as I have seen it any time these past fifty years. #Clojure is booming, and sprouting offshoots like #Scittle and Jank; Emacs Lisp and Scheme are still widely used; and there are lots of people playing with new, experimental Lisps. Common Lisp, even, seems particularly favoured by arts programmers.

It all looks pretty vibrant.

@simon_brooke @metalisp I might not be representative, but here it goes: after almost 30 years programming, I'm starting to use lisp (clojure) for one of my projects, and I'm absolutely loving it.
