If you want a slightly more informative comparison, try common lisp vs
python.

Why is that any more informative? They are two very different languages, which will be used by a different group of people.

I can see a point in comparing MATLAB, Mathematica and Maple. I can see a point in comparing C, C++, Python, and Fortran. But there are some combinations where see no real reason to compare them, and Lisp and Python are in that category.

Comparing Lisp to Pure or Mathematica seems a bit more logical.
