You can write a lisp in 145 lines of Python: https://norvig.com/lispy.html

That doesn't disprove anything. Peter Norvig is about as far from "not good programmer" as one can get.

It's not about Peter. Of course, he's a great programmer. The point is that you can follow nicely written tutorials and have your own in a very short period of time. It's not particularly difficult to build a Lisp.
