note that i'm mostly pro-lisp, and wasn't criticizing, just reporting what i saw when reading about it.

i'd add one thing to your point, is that lispers know how to port concepts from lang a to lang b very easily, support libs, macro layer if need be (see goroutines in clojure) so fragmentation is not as hard it was in mainstream languages (ps: even though today everybody goes into ast / transpiler to experiment)
