Well it's easy to disagree with him on many points.
The use of macros that I've seen in CL source doesn't indicate that people are creating other programming languages out of Lisp. In fact, it makes the source easier to read by allowing a natural level of terseness by way of abstraction.
Python's method of abstraction is via encapsulation in it's class/meta-class/object model.
However, this is an argument for another post.
Funny how these Lisp posts continue to flame across the net.
