Evidence to the contrary: * Heterogeneity of object abstractions: in order of complexity, you use namedtuples, classes, and metaclasses. In Lisp you'd use the same kind of abstraction across complexity levels. * Similarly, there are lambdas, plain functions, and bound methods, all for pretty much the same thing. * Which do you use when?
