Ask HN: Silence in Lisp community

8 points by kung-fu-master 14 years ago · 4 comments · 1 min read


What happened with Lisp community? There is no new announces, success stories etc. Lisp bloggers stopped to update their blogs. Is this the end of Lisp era? Maybe Python/Ruby/... occupied a niche of Lisp?

The Lisp era will never end. As a matter of fact, it rebooted a few years ago with the birth of Clojure. #Clojure on FreeNode is a very active channel.

Maybe because they are busy programming (check Github). Writing code is usually more fun than writing blogs.

    I have found 31 repos on Common Lisp. Clojure - 3956 repos.

    Compare to: Ruby - 141811 repos. Python - 67482 repos.

    It seems that writing on Ruby is more fun than writing in Lisp.

Clojure is making a lot of noise, at least.
