Right.

Whether we realize it or not, the ultimate winner is elegant and
advanced ideas. As for what a language is called, it doesn't matter.
Emacs survived till now, it shows that its inherent advanced ideas are
not out of date, even still beyond the current concepts that have been
implemented in other languages, which makes it last forever, keep pace
with the times, self-development, and never stop.
