I have seen a lot of claims of this but no real evidence? And I know Lisp quite well (having implemented my own versions of Lisp for fun). If Lisp truly is way more productive than other languages, why haven’t we seen lots of Lisp software out-competing software written in other languages? Surely a few Lisp guys could outcompete everybody else if Lisp is as super productive as claimed.
