Lisp has its short comings, specially as an "industrial" language, but it wins hands down as an individual language.
I wouldn't use Lisp in my assembly-line, CRUD factory, but it will serve an artisan quite well.

Lisp certainly includes certain 'timeless' aspects, such as lambdas and homoiconicity, but other features (like conses everywhere, IMO) are simply implementation details of the time Lisp was first created.
I'm concerned that Lisp advocates, by repeatedly saying that Lisp is the final step in language design, the ultimate language,...etc might distract some from looking for additional, newer, insightful concepts in computation and language design.
No programming language will survive a 1000 years. Not many works of science or art, or even human language have.
Programming language research has already grown past Lisp itself, or any other programming language, really. What we have now are logical models, their derivations and their proofs. If any of them can be materialized in an implementation, made practical, or even commercialized, great. Otherwise PL research is happiest as .. logic.
Edit:
اخ محمد، عجبتني رؤية لغتك البرمجية العربية. قمت ايضا بأنشاء بضعة لغات برمجبيات عربيات، معظمهن كلغات شبه لسبية :-)
يسعدني أنها أعجبتك! هلا أريتني لغاتك التي اخترعتها؟ بريدي موجود في البروفايل لو أردت ذلك :)
يسعدني التواصل معك عزيزي. معظم ابحاثي اللغوية مبعثرة في عدة مواقع، واجهزة استودعت في اﻻهمال. ثمة دفاتر هنا وهناك. ساجلب بعضها من المخزون قريبا
حتى ذلك الحين، اتركك في مرحاب البحث والالهام
