In the 80ies, when I learned programming, Lisp had a reputation of being expensive to get licenses for, extremely resource-hungry and unusable on microcomputers. Today, it is a language that is more powerful than Python and open source implementations like SBCL compile Lisp to native code with roughly about the speed of Java.
