Hard disagree. Lisp family of languages have tree templates that are easy to lint, test and get right. They also scale as well as- or better than React.

Lisp has had 50 years to catch on, and unfortunately, it has not had the uptake a lot of its proponents would like. I think part of this is the different mental model you need to build around programming when you use these family of languages.

It again raises the issue that you need to learn a new language. Most web developers are not going to learn lisp when js is already available.
