Well, you can force Lisp to act like other programming languages. But it takes work and defeats the point of programming in Lisp. Same with SAS, which I've done a lot of work with.
One thing about learning to program: First you learn a particular language, like Python. Then you learn some other languages, like C++ and Java or something. Then you realize that the project you are working on is going to have an effect on which language you use.
