How strong is Lisp interest and adoption compared to fifty years ago?

Celebration via Dusty Decks by Paul McJones on 7/4/08
A celebration of the 50th anniversary of Lisp is taking place in
October at OOPSLA 2008. John McCarthy will give a talk about the early
history of Lisp. Also Guy Steele and Richard Gabriel will repeat their
1992 HOPL-II talk about the Evolution of Lisp.
Faithful readers of this blog know that a good way to prepare for this
event is to visit the History of Lisp web site at the Computer History
Museum, which contains source code, manuals, and hyperlinks for many
versions of Lisp starting with McCarthy’s Lisp 1.5.
Update: JonL White notes that the Association of Lisp Users is holding
its “celebratory 50th Anniversary” conference at MIT in the spring of
2009, with Guy Steele as Program Chair and Dan Weinreb as General
Chair; Dan sent out an “extremely unofficial pre-announcement” in
February.
