In particular, newLISP and Clojure. (never cared about CL myself, and Scheme community has really disappointed me for the past decade to the degree that i think it'll never go anywhere, even decline within its own field of Academia...)<br /><br />thanks a lot for your very valuable info about user numbers. Havne't seen you in comp.lang.lisp much these days. Hope we'll see you there more too.

Originally I didn't know that I'll...Thanks. Originally I didn't know that I'll write almost exclusively about <b>Lisp</b>. Lisp Programming would be nice, but maybe too long, as blogspot.com prepends the name of the blog to name of the post.<br /><br /><b>Clojure</b> has much more users than <b>Newlisp</b>. My estimation is: <b>Newlisp</b> 100, <b>Common Lisp</b> 1500, <b>Clojure</b> 4000 users. It is harder to say about <b>Scheme</b>, because its name is too generic ... maybe 1000 total. These numbers are rough estimations on the base of the Google trends, memberships on mailing lists etc. <br /><br />The popularity of <b>Newlisp</b> increases, but not very fast. For example, these days, <b>Newlisp</b> forum gets new posters (not only members) twice more frequently than two years ago - but it doesn't mean that there are twice more users, just twice more *new users*. <br /><br />Success of <b>Clojure</b> is very impressive in <b>Lisp</b> context; but it is still very small niche: <b>Fortran</b> and <b>Cobol</b> are 10 times more popular, and <b>C++</b> is some 20 times more popular than <b>Fortran</b> ... according to Google Trends, whole Lisp is really small niche.<br /><br />We cannot say that <b>Lisp</b> (in general, not only <b>CL</b>) didn't got its chance: it was supported by government, Universities, including most popular ones, programming celebrities and industry.Kazimir Majorinchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407339997157446200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894839.post-53272608836839248722010-09-17T21:49:21.272+02:002010-09-17T21:49:21.272+02:00nice change. What about Lisp Programing Notes? btw...nice change. What about Lisp Programing Notes? btw, how's New Lisp going? never looked into other than 5 min. It's got a big community right?<br /><br />if you were to guess, which do you think has more users, Clojure or New Lisp?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896508961236679878noreply@blogger.com
