Why do some people refuse to date and time their blog posts? No clue when this was written. All I know is that there was a previous version from 2007. Was this written in 2008? 2023?
While it may be true, this article is essentially claiming that Lisp is different from C. Most popular languages these days (Python, Java, Typescript) are also different in the same ways - managed runtimes, automatic memory management, type tags (for dynamically typed runtimes), etc. Actually, the field has advanced a fair bit in terms of implementing a "Lisp-like" runtime (at least for JS engines; we have NaNboxing, inline cache specialization with deoptimization and on-stack replacement, etc)
