Ooh Ooh My Turn Why Lisp? (2008)
&quot;The question is where will we be in five years, the answer is using Common Lisp, because of language features&quot; says the author in the comments.  This was 8 years ago.<p>Kind of rude of me to take that potshot, but it&#x27;s there.  I&#x27;ve been reading these &quot;Why Lisp?&quot; Arguments for years and yet it still remains pretty niche.  The longer this goes on the more I am unable tell Lisp advocates apart from Perl advocates.  They both sound like write-only languages.  They make a lone programmer feel very productive and Free, but it results in essentially unmaintainable code.  I&#x27;ve written and attempted to maintain much more Perl than Lisp, many years ago, so please tell me if I&#x27;m wrong.
