Hardly. If anywhere, Lisp is stronger at universities.
Hello, I've been reading the last few exchanges and this strikes to me as
intriguing. Which univerisities are you aware of, other than the places where
Felleisen, Friedman et.al (Racket folks) have been active to have a serious
Lisp-based approach? You no longer have that in MIT in any serious capacity
either, except a few grad PL Theory classes, one doesn't really interact with
Lisp in any considerable capacity. And this is not really news, even Sussman
(co-author of SICP, taught at MIT) acknowledged the wave of changing to Python
from Lisp[0].
I find this dishonest in the least, to not acknowledge the existing conditions
as they are.
Regards,
Divya
