What would it be called if we add Smalltalk there, as a third option? A "trial"? No wait, that can't be right.

It'd be glib to say that Smalltalk is a Lisp, but Smalltalk's ideas are similar enough to Lisp's that I would put it squarely in the "Lisp camp". The same is true of things like Ruby, about which people have been glib enough to say it's an "acceptable Lisp".
