the big question at this moment is whether this is the bad programmers version of the pl thread, or whether we are seriously talking about lisp ityool 2017

we should honestly be talking about Lisp much more than we do, especially compared to crimes like the plangs

many years ago I applied for an internship at a company that did graphics software. they were using lisp on SGI machines. you will be surprised to hear that they stopped existing a few years later. I didn't get the job

Hell, I'll be willing to bet that anyone who is serious about lisp also passionately uses emacs. in my journey to become a scootypuff jr. computer toucher, i worked through lisp/scheme tutorials, and it's been very instructive and fun making ~* ELEMENTAL COMPUTATION *~ out of basically nothing. like you can build a couple of crap versions of useful data structures, and inefficient sorting algorithms out of those crap basic elements and putting that together tickled me. is it practical, not because it is the year of our lord carly rae jepsen 2017, and computer touching is about knowing standard libraries and how to glue them together with other things to get the results you want.

so Daniel Seagraves, the author of the Meroko TI Explorer emulator, has released his LambdaDelta LMI Lambda emulator it needs a bunch of stuff from BitSavers and a bunch of setup to run, but evidently it does run

There's a company ITA Software, now owned by Google, who wrote price finding software for flights in lisp. They still are afaik. That's the only company I know where their core software is in lisp.

yeah, whenever this stuff comes up it turns out there are lisp system lurking around in a lot of places. it certainly isn't hugely relevant, but emacs is still unlikely to be in the top 10 of actually relevant lisp software (depending, granted, on what dubious way of judging relevance one chooses)

With all the mergers they've had and given it's a fairly rare skill I doubt it's too key. Surprisingly a lot of core banking still runs in large batches on mainframes, like probably 80% of the transaction processing for most of them.
