In this instance I'd be particularly interested to know if you have ever coded a large application (100,000 loc) in andy of these languages? If you have, I'd then be curious to know if you had take the given lisp/python/ruby functionality and ported it to C or C++ to compare the performance, memory footprint and robustness. If you haven't done this then I don't you're qualified to make the sort of suggestions that you made and even if you have and lisp/python/ruby does seem better (unlikely) then it still doesn't mean that the original poster would be better off with one of these languages. I should also point out that I really like Python and use it all the time for small scipts and tools but I would never dream of using it for anything large (>10,000 loc) or timing critical.
