    On the other hand, if it were lispiness that was the issue, surely xlispstat would be the winner. I love xlispstat. I used it in grad school in the 1990s and even maintain the github repository https://github.com/jhbadger/xlispstat . But the fact is xlispstat never appealed to the general statistical community and R did.
  • Ask HN: Would prog. language look like if that was designed by no-programmer

    I was a huge fan of xlispstat in the 1990s (which I've archived on Github at (https://github.com/jhbadger/xlispstat), but the simple fact is that the majority of the statistics community just didn't like Lisp-like languages, and not only xlispstat, but newer projects like Incanter (statistics for Clojure) have pretty much failed as well. R meets its need far better than a Scheme library that nobody would have used. It's yet another example of "worse is better".
