Here's Lisp (SBCL) vs. Python 3: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/compare.php?lang...

Summary: crushes it.

Well, the SBCL code includes code for literally generating assembly code specific to x86-64 to get that performance and is 3 times as long as Python. Presumably the inline assembly code is not part of any LISP standard but highly specific to that specific LISP implementation.
That's only the mandelbrot benchmark.
Which SBCL code?
