>(Common) Lisp usually gets more use than exposure

What? It gets exposure on the Internet all the time, while seemingly nearly no one uses it in production.

Edit: Just look at the end of [1]. They have exactly three examples.

Edit 2: They have more example in [2], but it is still pretty little.

This is getting downvoted and I don't see why. CL is easily in the top 10 programming languages I see mentioned on HN and it also comes up regularly outside of HN, yet the amount of people actually using it in production seems miniscule.

HN being one of the few places online where Lisp enthusiasts can find new Lisp-related content and discuss it with other enthusiasts is very different from HN being "full of Lisp zealots" They're still very much in the minority here.
