I think Julia being an HPC lang despite dynamicity has nothing to do with being close to lisp in some regards. I didn't use the language but the overwhelming community consensus I get is that performance is out of the window once you truly embrace dynamic (type-unstable in julia parlance) code. Julia performance depends heavily on the compiler being able to infer a single type for variables in the hot loop so that it can specialize the used functions to it then get out of the way. Julia is not a Fortran-speed python, it's a language that can be _either_ Fortran _or_ python, depending on how you write it. Lisp influences on julia are more for semantic power than performance.
