I just finished @paulg's essay "Beating the Averages". Great read.
Do successful startups use Lisp (or its variants) today? Or is there another equivalent modern language that, despite having few users, is extraordinarily effective?

Jane Street once said in an interview that an unexpected benefit of using an obscure language (OCaml) as their primary development language was that only excellent, deeply intellectually curious programmers applied to work with them. I wonder if the Lisp effect is the same?
