Python likes to use arrays and dictionaries for almost everything.
Those are implemented in C and optimized pretty well, though mostly for
speed.  Integers are boxed and while (iirc) -1 through 100 are
preallocated, the rest get consed as needed and reclaimed later.

Of course in the olden days there were very compact Lisp representations
like BIBOP (Big Bag of Pages) for memory-starved machines.  So you'd
have a page full of cons cells, a page full of symbols, etc.  That way
you didn't need type tags: the address would tell you what the type was.

These days the heap size of a running program usually isn't that
important, for reasons I described earlier.  The computer's memory is
full of stuff like video frames and the program heap coexists with that.
