Whoever does not understand Lisp is doomed to reinvent it (2007)
 I don&#x27;t get it. If LISP is such an EPIC language why are there no major pushes from LISP community, or just showcase a piece of software that proves it.
 I have been looking on internet about what makes LISP cool it&#x27;s ideas about code is data, powerful macros and hell lot of bragging about being able to define your own syntactic sugar but can&#x27;t find a single MUST HAVE piece of code that makes me say &quot;I have to learn this&quot;. It&#x27;s a ML age now and developers around the world are looking for such gems, but I don&#x27;t see LISP picking up momentum (I did notice Erlang picking up momentum upto the point people feeling crappy about syntax invented Elixir).
