It is quite astounding how Lisp is steadily being reinvented by the
down-to-earth programming community. It was famously observed by Paul
Graham in 2002 (<URL: http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html>). The
evolution has kept on going since then:
* Closures are everywhere (C++, C#, Java).
* XML is being replaced by JSON.
Python, of course, is part of that evolution.
