Actually, Emacs's lexical-binding variant of Elisp is pretty close to
Common Lisp: the default binding is lexical but you can use dynamic
binding for specific cases.
The difference is that Emacs has to keep the old compatibility mode
where lexical-binding is nil, whereas Common-Lisp never had such a thing.

When lexical-binding is t, they're very good roomates already.
Hopefully with time, the "lexical-binding = nil" case can be dropped.
