This level of claim is indistinguishable from fiction.

and yet we have a company that kind of said that recently (https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/lisp-interview-kina/):

> I really like the Common Lisp world. *I would like it to be more popular, but at the same time, it is a differentiator for us*.

they reached to us so we add Kina on awesome-lisp-companies. But how many more think the same? And still, they evidently put little effort in making CL more "popular", because they have no interest. They found enough open-source libraries, they work on a hard problem, they form their developers and operators in-house, they develop their own Lisp-like language for the browser… and they silently use the power of SBCL.
