What is lisp used for today and where do you think it's going ?
- by ldigas
Never been a lisp user, so don't take me as too dense while reading this.
But what is lisp used for today ?
I know there are several variants of the language in existence, at least one which will keep it alive commercially for a while longer (AutoLisp, VisualLisp - pretty big support from Autodesk) ... but I don't meet everyday people using it. So if you can shed some light on the matter - what is it's primary target market nowadays ?
And what do you believe its future will be ... will it become just another support language in few apps, or is it going somewhere ?
Also, apart from "an editor whose name shall not be spoken" what other apps keep it as a support language ?
