That’s really not true for Lisp.

Ruby, like its predecessor Perl, is one of the finer examples of Greenspunning and shows a lot of Lisp influence.

Unfortunately I can’t read the actual submission right now due to the cloudflare outage.

It's completely true of lisp. Lisp strings are generally mutable (although literal strings may be interned and non-mutable, or even worse mutation of literal strings may be UB). Same for Smalltalk.
