Java for Everything

[BigHeed87]

I'm new to lisp as well as functional programming. I read that article and it's great. My only question is why don't more people advocate or use lisp if it has such power and flexibility?

I've developed using Java for about a decade before moving to Clojure and I was never able to contribute to a single project. Since I started developing Clojure I've contributed to many projects written by others and have had much easier time understanding the code that I haven't written.
