You have good points but "the syntax is hard to manipulate programmatically"??

Maybe you haven't noticed but Lisp is now a tiny niche and most new languages aren't homoiconic either..

I don't think that proves anything. If we had "JavaLisp" in the browser instead of JavaScript then Lisp would be very popular. Besides that, Python is harder to manipulate than many non-Lisps, such as JavaScript and Go.

Python became popular without being the 'web language', the Lisps didn't.

Curly brace languages are more popular again.
