I like python (especially things like comprehensions), but to say it's more dynamic than common lisp is a little insane.
If I recall correctly, method calls in CLOS are also not syntactically distinguished from regular calls either (like they are in x.f() languages), so there is no motivation to write a method unless you actually want the dynamic dispatch methods provide. Methods are fairly rare compared to regular functions.
Unless you declare them "notinline".

Methods have some different functionality in CL than in most languages. For example, you can have the methods from the entire inheritance hierarchy (well, the classes that have had that method specialized for them) all be called as, essentially a pipeline of methods.

But this is a discussion about dynamism of the object system, and most of that is defined before runtime. How about changing an object's class at runtime? https://www.cliki.net/site/HyperSpec/Body/stagenfun_change-c...
