Rust
They are similarly punctuation-heavy, and both use C-derived syntax, and both are imperative languages, so I would disagree.
But Perl has list-in-list-out functions, just like Lisp. Sure, they don't look alike, but they have this important characteristic in common.
I'd say Perl is the fruit of the marriage between shell and Lisp.
He said furthest. That might be Lisp or Haskell or anything along these lines.
