>>32Questionable. Even though Haskell might get a hold in big projects because of its safety, it's impossible to cap Lisp in ease of teaching, simplicity (Brainfuck need not apply), expressiveness and extensibility. Fanboys of the snake like to believe otherwise and repeatedly quote the MIT's decision to change their intro course, but if you read the reasoning behind that switch, FIOC was only chosen because it had the necessary libraries they were looking for at that point in time. Actually, that's its only redeeming point — libraries, most of which are effectively C wrappers and the results of this toxic ``
embed everything in a scripting language instead of doing so vice versa'' mindset plaguing its community.
The day Lisp is completely replaced in academia is the day academia goes down the drain.
