If you call it a lisp you summon the lisp lawyer demons who will litigate your namespace & symbol semantics and start a big beef among themselves about what a lisp is and what makes lisp lisp and how much this is lisp and whether lisp even exists it's just a whole huge headache. It uses parens and prefix notation. Not every language that uses parens and prefix notation is a lisp, I guess, maybe, I don't care. But not wanting to have that argument is an excellent reason to never make this assertion about a language imo.
