We'd be all dead by now courtesy of GAI, at least with java and other abominations our generation is still fine ant'ing our way through feelin' happy fixing shit.

The computing world has never standarized on anything. And Lisp/Smalltalk aren’t the magic bullets you seems to think they are.

I think the supercomputer in your pocket would be capable of the exact same things it can now, which are plenty cool as is.

Lisps are not the God-languages.

Also, the bottleneck that limits pocket computing is mostly HCI. It's really hard to design a good user interface for tiny screens and clumsy input devices.

Lisp ain't gonna help with any of that.

I'd suggest Scheme instead of Lisp.
