It feels like Lisp scales vertically and Java scales horizontally.
Java scales for number of developers, its idioms and ecosystem make it easier to have tons of developers on a single project.
Lisp scales on the size of problem that a small close knit team can solve.
Things like the macro system in Lisp encourage defining your own problem specific DSL, which is great for individual developer productivity, but bad for involving lots of developers.
