Yet another catchphrase made by someone who lived through Lisp's heyday. There is not much "magic" in Common Lisp, aside from homoiconicity; it is dated old language, which reeks the smell of 1970s and 1980s in every corner of it. Yes it still fun to play with even today, but it is not some magic unicorn everything evolves into eventually.
