Is LISP still relevant? ;-)
I'm curious whether folks think the ideas of LISP are still resonant and powerful in the startup world and wider industry.
This is different from the question of inspiration. Yes, I admire.
Does PG, for instance, still think that startups can have 'secret' technical advantages and use strategies like 'running upstairs', i.e. choosing to do hard things as a competitive advantage.
By ideas of LISP I mean things like programs-as-data and a small kernel from which the system is bootstrapped.
