Don Romano (alt)Some people say you don't really need to use Lisp to gain the power of Lisp anymore, since many mainstream languages have implemented Lisp features now.
They say that Lisp is elegant, but real-world Lisps have hundreds of functions in the standard library and package dependency graphs no less complex than those found in JavaScript.
I still have difficulty finding problem domains where Lisp is a better fit than other interpreted dynamically typed languages.
