I still don't get Lisp. Why does there need to be an endless amount of dialects? Doesn't this completely needlessly fracture the ecosystem into hundreds of pieces making it impossible to effectively support?
Isn't the point of Lisps to be endlessly customizable, making the invention of a new dialect less necessary?
The only Lisp I'd consider for a real project is probably Clojure and I'd even be hesitant about that. Sure, you can make a simple web project with Arc (HN), but it seems like you get 0 libraries, 0 interfaces with other systems and 0 tooling. Why would I bother with that?
