Programmers who learn C, C++, and Java are doing it to produce something useful. Programmers who learn Lisp are doing it to learn Lisp. It sucks up programmer time an effort to obliterate it out of existence at the centre of the singularity.

Java: I don't give a shit how the code looks, I just care that the end product looks good.
Lisp: I don't give a shit how the end product looks, I just care that the code looks good.
Java: I don't give a shit how long it takes me to finish the project, or how much code it takes me to write it, I just care that lots of other inferior code monkeys will be able to maintain it.
Lisp: I don't give a shit what other code monkeys will be willing to work with me, I just care that the I and other developers that know lisp will be able to work on the project as productively as possible, using DSLs to solve problems as they arise.
Minecraft is the Lisp of computer games, written in Java.

The Lisp interpreter has no other purpose that to make it easy to write Lisp interpreters. It's very painful to try and write anything else with it.
