Every time I get surprised by the efficiency of Lisp! I guess they mean Common Lisp there, not Clojure or any modern dialect.
Yeah every time I see this chart I think “unless it’s performance critical, realtime, or embedded, why would I use anything else?” It’s very flexible, a joy to use, amazing interactive shell(s). Paren navigation is awesome. The build/tooling is not the best, but it is manageable.
That said, OCaml is nice too.
