I like some sides of Lisp (and you have seen I too have suggest it as an option for this project), but I think you can't prove that. For example I don't think you can write serious programs in Lisp faster than in Python... ;-)
And to know CommonLisp as well as Java/D you may need years. If you know Java you can learn D rather well in less than 4-6 months. I think only C++ requires more learning time than CommonLisp :-)

But if that's already work done, then there may be no need to write it again in Lisp :-)
