Oh, but Common Lisp and Python do have one important syntax feature in
common:

- non-Lispers hate all those parentheses,
- non-Pythoneers hate that syntactically significant white space.

Apart from that, CL has CLOS, which gives you object orientation.
And all good CL systems can compile to native code.
