I genuinely like Rust, but it's pretty amazing that you managed to write a comment on this article and make it about Rust. Peak HN :-)
Re Lisp's superiority - Lisp was certainly a superior language when it was devised many decades ago, but over time much of its comparative advantage has been absorbed by other languages. Starting in the 90s when productive, GC'd scripting languages like Python started being prominent this trend accelerated.
