in thread The first lambda language to go mainstream ?

It all depends on what 'mainstream' means.

JS got a lot more attention because you simply can't use any other language to script sites.

You are restricting mainstream to webclients, sites are quite often realized with Perl! :)

IMHO mainstream means widely known and used. Dylan or Factor are't mainstream.
