Do all programming languages converge to Lisp?

All programming languages have tree representations of their syntax, so are kind of a 'lisp' under the hood. However other languages typically don't allow you to get under the skin of the compiler in the way macros do to manipulate those trees. Therefore I don't think all programming languages converge to lisp (although lisp can converge to other programming languages!).
