There is no such thing as an "efficient" or "inefficient" language. It all boils down to the implementation.
Reminder that we are stuck with x86 thanks to C.

Thanks, Bell Labs.

Implementation is governed by semantics.

I still don’t understand exactly what you mean by this
Justin Wood
Lisp programs are just Lisp expressions.
(define some-numbers '(1 2 3))
(define a-program (cons '+ some-numbers))
a-program
=> (+ 1 2 3)
(eval a-program)
=> 6
Beside that, Lisps give you access to all the symbol tables so you can hotswap code dynamically if you want to.

Haskell is more terse than Lisp, yet it has a Turing complete type system.
Hmm... Really makes you think

This word is insta-ban, OP.

Nice! You manage to explain lisp and it's benefits in the fewest words I have ever seen. You win one Internet.
