That Lisp began in 1958 is mostly irrelevant.  It (Common Lisp) is a fully-modern, Turing-complete language with a first-rate object system and supports all programming paradigms.<p>On top of that the implementations have all been regularly updated over the years and many are extremely mature and well-optimized.<p>Do you equate newness with quality, as seems to be common on HN?<p>Perhaps an OS written entirely in this month&#x27;s JavaScript framework, deployed on Docker, using monads-as-a-service or whatever the hipsters have come up with lately would be more your cup of tea.
