TempleOS demonstates that C paradigm is closer to reality of computing - that C(and ALGOL-type languages in general) are both intuitive and easily translates to low-level OS layer.
Thousands of hobby OSes are created with C or its various offshoots, programmers.
Now what is the state of LISP-based computing?

Not even fanatic LITHPers use these OSes. No one develops software for them. The list resembles a museum of curiosities that somehow can't compete with C-based systems, despite being 'superior' and LISP giving you x100 the productivity of Blub programmers.
Blub somehow out-computes these superior LISP systems and their potential LISP programmers prefer inferior Blub systems.
