True, and PHP can be used for those things.

His question was - "can lisp be used for building websites that are
large and complicated and in the end be good to maintain?"

If the answer is no, then it could be argued that PHP is better because
it can do things lisp can't.

However, the bottom line is - the original question is meaningless.
It's like asking "is a submarine better than a minivan?" It is if
you're studying the ocean floor.
