Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts by an economics researcher on switching from Common Lisp to Julia for scientific computing, plus work on orphaned Lisp libraries. HN readers link them when choosing a language.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
If it's a helpful perspective to you, here's an economics researcher who had been using common lisp for scientific computing and why he switched to Julia. I found it helpful for choosing between the two when first selecting a language for personal use: https://tamaspapp.eu/post/common-lisp-to-julia/

HN discussionRight, from my understanding, Lisp-Stat originated with Luke Tierney. The latest efforts to extend and work with those ideas/code base are at https://github.com/blindglobe/common-lisp-stat and work by Tamas Papp ( https://tamaspapp.eu/post/orphaned-lisp-libraries/ ) Forking open source code is fine, but why try to take over the name?
