Showing "rust" at 0.82% and "lisp" at 0.35% for me...

Not to mention that HN is uniquely interested in Lisp through PG.

Not any more. I'm certain there's posters in here that do not even know who Paul Graham is, especially since he doesn't post regularly any more.

The legend of Lisp is being spread mostly by the older of us and the lucky few that got bit by the Emacs bug.

I do honestly prefer using vim over emacs for a bunch of reasons, but I wish it was configured with lisp instead. Emacs seems like a fun playground.
