I'm not a particularly experienced or good Lisp programmer, I can customize Emacs, but that's pretty much it.

However, I think this article is a bit skewed and not highlighting things Python has.

For instance, the standard library means that Python is more usable out of the box.

Also when you've got things like iPython or Jupyter it means you can get off the ground easily.

So, in the end, they're two different languages, and I do not think either is better of the two. Right tool for the job and all that.
