Is clojure (lisp in JVM) next big thing?
markessien: Lisp will never be popular. We are humans and our brains are wired for a certain type of thinking. Lisp breaks this model, and so it's difficult for people to pick it up.The trend has always been to easier and easier languages - I don't remember any case where a more complex language, no matter how useful, has become the next big thing.The only thing that can make lisp popular is a framework or API based off it. Something that offers something new or something easier.
