In my opinion what is "missing" in the languages
formulations is sustainability of the system. [*]
In case of formula/abstract based declaration of systems
all alternatives make people put on the idea(L) side
and not in the system itself (the natural side).
Smalltalk is the only alternative of sustainable system
development used commertially today.
Smalltalk did not spawn an entire industry of specialized hardware like
Lisp. However Lisp hardware is a collector's item now. :)
There are plenty of commercial projects using Common Lisp today and from
what I can tell, there has been renewed, grassroots interest in Lisp (CL
and Scheme) over the last 5 years. Smalltalk is not the only
alternative. Both have ANSI standard specifications.
