Definitely some interesting and fun properties. Pretty hard to consider them, in totality, anything close to 10x-ing from the herd.

Software is art. Maybe someone out there somehow gets 10xd from these traits, but highly unlikely

The 10x argument for lisp was more compelling when everyone was using C and Fortran instead of JS and python. The contrasts here do seem pretty small.

The real productivity benefit for me is that the ecosystem is so stable and well documented. You can learn it all and keep it in your head.
