> Lisp is dynamically typed.

Ish.

SBCL aggressively infers types wherever possible. It can do dynamic typing with tags of course. You can also write it with 100% static types.

Dynamic typing isn't a defining feature of Lisp style languages (even GC isn't necessary). Some historic Lisps and modern ones are 100% statically typed.
