Perhaps lisps do not benefit from progression in libraries; creation of new resources; and don&#x27;t need to change often enough to warrant new documentation.<p>What does it mean when a language becomes less and less useful without its specification being progressively changed, with the commensurate documentation changes?   What does it mean that a language has tons of questions on Stack Overflow?<p>It would seem that an ideal language is one whose specification is static so that old and new resources, libraries, and documentation remain perpetually useful.  However, such a specificationally-static language can only be itself perpetually useful if it is properly flexible to the needs of the programmer.  I hear that at least some Lisps are quite flexible, though I unfortunately don&#x27;t have a good way to fathom&#x2F;define what constitutes flexibility.
