>Lisp is not special in this regard In reality, yes, at least because of two differences: 1. Lisp is a significantly more powerful language, compared to most non-Lisp languages. Thus, many patterns and practices that are needed in other languages, are simply not needed at all in Lisp, or become far simpler. 2. Lisp is a "programmable programming language" where code is a "first class citizen" and can be manipulated as well as any other kind of data such as numbers. This opens a very different approach to programming, with its own, different "best practices".
