The web is a fully-fledged application platform now and we're stuck with the steaming piles of shit called scripting languages because someone thought it would be very ebin to use them for desktop-like applications.

We're stuck with them because Lispers taught (in universities, books, and now blogs) that dynamic typing was acceptable. Dynamic typing used to be shunned by programmers and serious computer science was about static typing.

Ruby and JavaScript were explicitly inspired by Lisp. Ruby used to be called MatzLisp before JavaScript ``carried the torch'' for the Lisp philosophy. They are Lisp and Scheme in disguise.
