"You read that entire article and your takeaway is a theory about why Lisp isn't popular?"

He said 'take' (not 'takeaway'), which I would interpret to mean his viewpoint on Lisp that might be unrelated or even contrary to the article.



Exactly. Please note I'm not speaking English natively and used phrase 'my take' according to my knowledge how to use it. My point was rather a digression comparing to the original article. In fact, I sympathize with the author and I put my 2cents what IMO causes the situation described.


You used it correctly.


Excellent point, thank you. My misreading of that one word biased my interpretation of the comment!
