SBCL, probably. Scheme would be a close second depending on the implementation (Chicken, Gerbil or other compile-to-C impls.) Racket and Clojure are closer in performance to scripting languages like Python.

In the TechEmpower benchmarks, Clojure is about 2.75x slower than Java, while Python is 5.59x slower. The fastest composite Python "framework" is uvicorn at 17.9% of the fastest run in Java (officefloor). The fastest Clojure run is Aleph at 36.4%. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&l=zijzaz-6az&test=composite https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&l=z... About SBCL, I get conflicting results. The Benchmarks Game shows it roughly as fast as Java for many problems: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/fastest/lisp.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... But here it's significantly worse than the Clojure runs, likely due to the slow DB bindings (the other test types show it roughly in line with Clojure; though it uses a "Stripped"/unrealistic HTTP implementation): https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&l=zik0zf-6bf&a=2&test=fortune https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&l=z... I am not sure which Lisp implementation is used; is it SBCL?

  There is a fun blog series about comparison and tweaks of the same problem between java, rust and CL. I will link only the last part of the series[1], but the general take is that SBCL performs comparably to a heavily optimized java implementation, and can even hold a candle to rust and java on short runs.
