[C++] delete considered harmful

The unbridled use of the delete statement has as an immediate consequence that it becomes terribly hard to find a meaningful set of coordinates in which to describe the process progress. ... The delete statement as it stands is just too primitive, it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one's program.

Never use delete, use smart pointers, memory pools, stack allocations. Don't break RAII.

No one cared to optimize LISP, since they would just invent AI and make the AI do it. If you wanted speed, you would use Fortran. Lisp was not invented for that use case.
