I just said that, where I have complete control (i.e. on personal projects, or companies I bootstrap) I will choose Lisp because I wouldn't have to care for junior employees.

This forum is so preoccupied by only considering something that could be understood by a team of thousand average-skilled engineers, and only the easiest to understand languages matter, which is why all Lisp discussions devolves into mentioning how hard it is to adopt in large corporate teams.

The power of Lisp is inversely proportional to the headcount, and sometimes you're the only one working on a project, so you want max velocity and flexibility. Not everything has to be optimised for a FAANG development model.
