If you are into exploring programming languages or writing interpreters, lisp is quite an interesting language. I can also see it working quite well if you need to embed a small scripting language somewhere, because it’s so minimal and easy to pick up, but also very powerful if you go into the metaprogramming side of it.
I don’t see many reasons to use it for anything else though.
This doesn’t explain why you’d want to use Lisp at all really, and it pretty much ignores the many disadvantages.
I have come to think that Lisps are meta-progranming-only languages.
