    Id argue lisp (of the common variety) was supported by developed by and inovated by corporate folks, and is dynamically typed. Symbolics, Xerox, etc. Dynamic typing has been around for a long while.

      I do not think Lisp was ever an enterprise language. Might have been used in R&D, and sure it is in a few products. CAD software sometimes uses Lisp as the extension language. That does not make it an enterprise language, though I guess it depends on definition.
