merits of Lisp vs Python

How do you compare Python to Lisp? What specific advantages do you
think that one has over the other?

Note I'm not a Python person and I have no axes to grind here. This is
just a question for my general education.

That's what CGI does.
I meant long running processes, as I hoped was obvious from context...

Maybe FastCGI should help, then. It can run "forever" after a request has
finished so it is suitable for long running processes.

Yes, we've used FastCGI too. My question was specifically about
mod_python.

This month there was/is a 1000+ long thread called: "merits of Lisp vs Python" In comp.lang.lisp. If you followed even parts of the thread, AND previously used only one of the languages AND (and this is the crucial bit), were persuaded to have a more positive view of the other language; (deep breath, this is a long, as well as grammatically incorrect sentence), THEN WHY NOT POST ON WHAT ARGUMENTS PERSUADED YOU.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
