> Replacing Lisp's beautiful parentheses with dozens of special tools and languages, none powerful enough to conquer the whole software landscape, leads to fragmentation and extra effort from everyone, vendors and developers alike. The automotive field is a case in point.

This completely ignores Haskell.



Haskell is a niche language, not widely used in any industry, and it has nothing like the power and tooling of Lisp. What would be its place in this discussion?


Last I checked, the closest Haskell gets to first-class metaprogramming is compiler extensions.
