comparison between Lisp and an Algol like language can be done, the Algol like language suddenly, and inexplicably, dies. Lisp will be here a hundred years from now. Java, and most of the other "standard" languages will not.

It is interesting to note that Yahoo replaced most of Paul Graham's Lisp code for the e-stores. If Yahoo did not like Lisp, why did they buy the damned thing? To get customers only?
