That like saying Go/Rust/Kotlin are just Algol, what’s so modern about them? Lisp isn’t a language anymore, it’s a category of languages and it’s members are rather different from each other besides some superficial syntax style. Common Lisp, Scheme and Clojure are three very different languages, certainly more different than Ruby is from Python IMHO.
Clojure, in 2020, is very very different from the Lisp of 50 years ago and is modern in many respects, even compared to other popular languages.
