 In the language or in things written in the language or both?  Lisp has

Samantha, you need to provide me with references if you want me to
believe this.  No LISP compiler has ever been optimized to any serious
degree AFAIK.  The nature of the language makes it difficult to write
efficient code in the first place.  And I suspect that these "many
problem domains" don't include any that involve numeric calculations.
