I don't get it. If LISP is such an EPIC language why are there no major pushes from LISP community, or just showcase a piece of software that proves it. I have been looking on internet about what makes LISP cool it's ideas about code is data, powerful macros and hell lot of bragging about being able to define your own syntactic sugar but can't find a single MUST HAVE piece of code that makes me say "I have to learn this". It's a ML age now and developers around the world are looking for such gems, but I don't see LISP picking up momentum (I did notice Erlang picking up momentum upto the point people feeling crappy about syntax invented Elixir).
