5 years ago I was in the same boat. Now I'm in love with Go .. funny how things turn out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What changed?

Likely, employers and what is possible in the immediate day-to-day sense.

I currently love both Go and Lisp. They are the opposites of each other. And good for different things.

They have still one thing in common - that are not oop!

Well, Go really is oop, it just favors composition over inheritance, but it's still oop.

(Not stating this as a bad thing, just as a fact)

Most Lisps have object systems; Common Lisp was the first ANSI-standardised language with one.

In most Lisps, objects are an option, as opposed to languages like Java.
