It's a bit anachronistic to compare Lisp's goals from 40 years ago to current JS situation. The latter we're stuck with for political reasons, while the former really did need to overcome hardware limitations to be successful in that era. Also with Typescript being adopted by most major JS projects, I wouldn't say that dynamic typing "won."

  Python has an optional type checker these days so you can write fairly statically typed Python if you want.
