I barely disagree. In that that 'way' is not dying, it's just that other languages spread the fundamental layer away just enough so that what people have for free in lisp/st/forth/ml takes a whole new organ (IDE) to reinvent flatly, but it's constantly reinvented.

These systems are so coherent they solve themselves in and out, but if you mess a few things it's now compounded interests fueling your technological debt.
