Slashdot said that programming has a political axis with conservative and liberal programmers. Liberal programmers worry about how fast you take to implement a feature. Liberal programmers need the answer to this question. (1)

Paul Graham said that his company could implement features faster than his competitors, because his company programmed in Common Lisp and Common Lisp makes you twice more productive as a programmer. (2)

Time passes, progress happens, Common Lisp was the fastest, a more modern programming language is the fastest, so today what programming language is the fastest to implement features? Why?
