We had to do LISP in cognitive science, it's like talking to an alien species. You can write entire programs in one line but everything was done through fucking parentheses and cryptic punctuation. Our homework would be to literally write one line and I couldn't do it.

Haha. Nicely put. Maybe also like the Velvet Underground of languages—everyone that learned LISP invented their own language. (Many of them are, alas just “bug-ridden, slow implementations of half of Common Lisp.” But some not.)

Yeah! And Abuse is written like 1/3rd in Common Lisp! I don’t know what these people are talking about. Lisp is everywhere. Everything definitely isn’t a bunch of SQL databases.

Xerox made LISP work stations. I used them at uni back in the 80s. They were very slow and the power button was badly placed. Many sessions ended abruptly when you accidentally hit it with your knee.

1/ I think Javascript was originally inspired by Scheme. While strictly speaking JS is a multiparadigm language, I'd wager that the dominant style of writing JS in the wild today is leaning heavily on the functional style of doing things.

2/ A large portion of web GUIs today are written in React, which itself embraces the functional paradigm. So while Lisp itself never managed to become dominant in GUI creation, I think it's fair to say that its direct descendants have had great success at it.
