You made me smile but you also made me think. If you need to use Scheme 
in the "real world" you will use a Scheme with Python-like libraries, 
maybe infix syntax, some form of object orientation etc. So who is 
morphing into who?

With respect to Common Lisp I argue no contest: if you build the world's 
biggest language from the start of course every other language will look 
like a subset of it. ;)
