One serious question today would be: what's LISP _really_ good for?

I could do a similar thing:

... and leave you wondering (or not). I won't.
Paul Graham's essay/article consists of a success story, _his_ success
story (which, in minor part, depends on continued sales of his two LISP
books), and a variety of claims I am unqualified to verify or refute. What
is there for me to learn? That there exists/existed one successful LISP
application? Is that really what I had tried to negate?
Besides, if quoting ESR were a measure of credibility I'd be given some
when I appeared to 9fans out of the blue and quoted him saying something to
the effect that Plan 9 is dead and buried because it wasn't up to replacing
UNIX (at the moment, that is _not_ my opinion).
