In the mainstream world, we study a single category of types and logic at a time. There is an ∞-category Tomb whose objects are languages and arrows are compilers; we don't talk about it much. Lisp is certainly not somehow an arena where we transcend computing concepts; it's a lightweight syntax for untyped lambda calculus, at best. A single topos, not the entire multiverse of topoi.
I could restate your entire argument for ANS FORTH and I'm not sure whether it would lose anything. That should clue you into the idea that your argument is really about the age of the language family, and the corresponding maturity of philosophy and reasoning around members of the family.
The only thing that Lisp makes easy is the parser, by dint of reusing the host Lisp's s-expression reader. The most trivial and surface-level part of a compiler, really.
