> Lisp doesn't need runtime List Processing Lisp needs list processing. But it's much more. Lisp has several kinds of numbers, symbols, strings, characters, vectors, arrays, hash tables, records, classes, objects, natively compiled functions, ... -> and all those are not made of lists. An array in Lisp is not made of lists underneath. A natively compiled function is not a list, it's a vector of machine code.
