Compare number of C++ developers to number of lisp developers and you will
get an answer.
C/C++/Java/Pascal syntax is a lot more popular and easier to learn -
despite being a lot more verbose in some cases. Everybody understand
iterating the loop with for, many people has problems with grasping
car/cdr conctept to the point of being able to use it efficiently.
