Running Lisp in Production (2020)

I haven’t met anyone who started with Lisp, only those graybeard types who ended with Lisp after 20 years. Where do people work with Lisp at an entry level? I can imagine that code base would be a shitshow unless they have a ridiculously competent architect.

Lots of people had their first, and possibly only, programming exposure to Lisp as the scripting system for something else (i.e. Emacs, AutoCAD etc.) I'd go so far as to speculate that orders of magnitude more people learned it that way than have ever learned Lisp for the sake of learning Lisp.

Totally forgot about those, fair play!
