Lisp has come in from the cold. After years enduring the icy Artificial Intelligence (AI) winter, a period in the late eighties when Lisp was dumped by many thanks to associations with over-hyped AI research, and a frosty decade in academic obscurity, the open source community has dusted down this unique language, and freshened her up with lemon odour.

I can hardly wait for Prolog to make a comeback!

i think lisp is still out in the cold. in 10 years of being a developer, i've never seen it used in any business or company. i hear a lot more about functional languages like erlang and ocaml than lisp.
i must admit, i wish i'd been required to become proficient at a functional language while getting my computer science degree.
