Rubbish. No IDE and runs on like 5% of the world's computers. After a
quarter frickin century. Typical academic self-absorbed
non-accomplishment. Say what you will about commercial software, the
need to eat has no substitute when it comes to productivity.

Python wins because GvR was man enough to realize the wasted brainpower
going into replacing lambda and back down. Lisp loses because the best
and the brightest young Lisp turks are just trying to drive Franz and
Lispworks out of business when there is so much other amazing code to be
written.

Sad day, and sadder still when it does run on win32.
