>Beating Node and Ruby in terms of speed is also a big non-argument, with so many attractive programming languages to choose from that are both fast It beats the majority of programming languages for speed, except for languages known for ultimate speed like C, C++, Rust, Forth, Chapel, and Ada. This is because Lisp is both high-level and low-level at the same time. This sorcery is possible because of homoiconicity and metaprogramming.
