> Hardly. If anywhere, Lisp is stronger at universities.

Hello, I've been reading the last few exchanges and this strikes to me 
as intriguing. Which univerisities are you aware of, other than the 
places where Felleisen, Friedman et.al (Racket folks) have been active 
to have a serious Lisp-based approach? You no longer have that in MIT in 
any serious capacity either, except a few grad PL Theory classes, one 
doesn't really interact with Lisp in any considerable capacity. And this 
is not really news, even Sussman (co-author of SICP, taught at MIT) 
acknowledged the wave of changing to Python from Lisp[0].

I find this dishonest in the least, to not acknowledge the existing 
conditions as they are.

Regards,

Divya
