Here is why Lisp unpopular...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages_(string_functions)



Ruby:         ["a", "b", "c"].join("-")

Perl:         join( '-', ('a', 'b', 'c')); 

C#:           String.Join("-", {"a", "b", "c"})



Common Lisp:  (format nil "~{~a~^-~}" '("a" "b" "c"))

You don't see people complaining about % in C or {} in C#.
Actually, I'm one of these people. "$a $b" is a way better than sprintf("%s %s", a, b) and you can easily embed your of formating functions "toHex($a) = $(toHex(a))"
