Python over Lisp

Regarding your comment on Peter Norvig knowing what he's missing from Lisp and choosing Python:

I asked Peter couple of questions, during a 2007 Google conference, in search of his take on Python over Lisp; he made two points that stuck with me.

1. Algorithms were more important than programming language choice.
2. Python is simpler than Lisp for your average corporate developer.
