There&#x27;s a ton of COBOL doing most backend stuff. Guess it&#x27;s a great language. See the problem with your claim?<p>Far as powerful, most things you need a new compiler for in other languages you can do in LISP with a mere library. And concisely, easily, fast, and sometimes with zero overhead. That property doesn&#x27;t go both ways. Hence, why LISP is the most powerful or nearly so.
