Lisp is functional programming. You can leverage the functional programming paradigms to write more correct code. Also Lisp makes it easier to not repeat yourself. It's shorter to create functions, even macros, leading to the ominous "DSL" rabbit hole. Another superpower is that it has no predefined keywords or operators. So you can redefine everything to whatever unicode you want. Including other languages and writing systems. It's a lot harder to write a programming language/compiler that uses another natural language idiomatically using something more similar to C or Python.
