I mostly agree.

Probably Stallman would object that Lua doesn't have read (apart from eval) and print.

As for performance, LuaJIT performance is better than any Common Lisp or Elisp, and dramatically better than the first 35 years of Elisp, before native-code compilation.

Any common Lisp? SBCL is no turtle.

Compared to LuaJIT it is, unless you monomorphize and turn off safety checks, at which point you're basically programming in C with Lisp syntax.
