Subject: Python the new Lisp, what about Ruby then?

I've been reading that Python is the new lisp.

For those Lispers in the crowd, how does Ruby compare with Lisp?  I'm
not concerned about the compilers and interpreters, but more about the
samantic limitations or freedoms of each.

I know Matz hacked on Lisp before inventing Ruby, so I can only
imagine that if Lisp had something worth holding onto Ruby would
certainly provide it.
