This video is a look back at the history of the LISP programming language as well as the reason I believe it lost popularity by the 2000s.

If you have incites on the topic or want to share your opinion on why lisp lost it's adoption let me know in the comments. This is less so a "lisp failed" video and more why it didn't become as popular as say Python.
