Ask HN: Why Shouldn’t I Use Lisp?

I’ve been following people like Jonathan Blow, as well as Paul Graham. I’ve learned Lisp and kind of like it, but I’ve heard Jonathan Blow say that A) GC is bad, and B) not to use Lisp and other similar languages. Could you explain these reasons not to use Lisp/higher-level languages with more features?
