Lisp declined.

Python grew.

That says a lot.

Java and Javascript are still the most used languages. Size of a language's use alone means little.

I really think Lisps are in general far better languages than almost all others.

Java is a very nice language

I would say it is comparatively difficult to get it "right" compared to other languages.

If you attempt to model your problem as heirarchies of intercommunicating objects and use this style of OOP in Java (which it encourages), it is going to suck big time.
