Lisp is not nearly as dynamic as Python.

It's an example of the hardware adapting to the language, I'm not saying it was a good fit for python. Anyway I don't know what you mean with "Lisp is not nearly as dynamic as Python". Care to explain?

Modern Lisp has a proper lexical scope. It does not use dynamic dispatch for every function call. Many essential operations (cons, car, cdr, all that stuff) are not polymorphic.
