> Clojure is a Lisp. One of the distinctive things about Lisp is that it has dialects. You wrote your comment using software written in another of them.

I also wrote other comments on other sites using software written in PHP, what does that have anything to do with anything mentioned here? I guess it proves that you can use Lisp to write forum software. Still, not really related to my main question.

Slightly off-topic, I should mention that I've read most of pg's articles several times over the years. I know about Arc, Viaweb, etc. I'm asking about this topic after having read all those articles.

Ok, then some other big company founded since 2009. It's been already about 9 years, there should be some around. I can wait for examples. Those companies can use any dialect of Lisp invented since the 50's :)




I know quite a few people employed working on Clojure. It's true that none of them are spectacularly large corporations, but there are quite a few companies out there using it day to day.
