Actually, it does, to some small extent.
Users learn what style of programming will generate good code, and
write to that style. Compiler writers learn what the users write,
and try to make that kind of code run fast. These processes reinforce
one another.
Scheme style and Common Lisp style have diverged. You should not expect
Common Lisp compilers to do as well on code written with a Schemish accent.
