Don't fight the universe, common lisp is too old for the mainstream to care, you can argue the same for es6, python, php .. it was all ridiculously bad and evolved by adding old ideas.

If you want to make CL exist in a commercial driven world.. make a successful CL business, that's the only thing this soil understands.

Fun fact: You're commenting on Hackernews, which was made with extra cash belonging to a man whose fortunes came from a successful CL business.

As if I didn't know that.

ps: viaweb was ages ago, it was cool and famous and world didn't care. Social structures are odd and people want to belong to their own cult, php, js, python were a 'better' fit for the uneducated people of that time, now they are the world and still only care about their own little world. Until they get a new idea, which they now see the value of and will integrate them shamelessly. CL nowhere to be found. It's a sad fact of life, CL heads don't have the desire to dominate, so their language features will be assimilated silently.
