It is quite astounding how Lisp is steadily being reinvented by the down-to-earth programming community. It was famously observed by Paul Graham in 2002 (<URL: http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html>). The evolution has kept on going since then: * Closures are everywhere (C++, C#, Java). * XML is being replaced by JSON. Python, of course, is part of that evolution.
