Lisp is a very flexible language; I don’t see why people can’t just use LISP instead of other language, since it technically has every feature of every language.

    @Amicchan this question is interesting because it relies on the assumption that people choose languages based on good design, which I think doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny if you observe peoples behavior in reality. network effects massively overpower the influence of good design when it comes to language adoption.
