> What is happening in the LISP world?

Lack of demand due to Common LISP's enormous size, complexity, resource
requirements, training, etc.

I attended a presentation by Intellicorp on their new PRO-KAPPA product
yesterday.  "Conventional DP and MIS world wasn't willing to buy into
LISP".

For a more detailed "prophecy", see my Brainwaves column in AI Expert,
March 1988.

Common LISP effectively died from obesity.
