I disagree. As Lisp is more moldable you can get to your point more easily, in a clear manner that is not obfuscated by the language limitations, syntax and constructs, and it's easier to refactor (you have less code to refactor). Like in Python, we have context managers (with statements), they're cool but we can't do much inside them. I wanted to use them to add logs to a list and automatically return it from my api. I couldn't, I had to do that manually everywhere. Now enters a new developer. In Python he would learn the base style, function names, the use of our custom context manager plus the need to manually feed and return the list of logs. In Lisp he would learn that our context manager (a macro) handles the logs. --- This thread gets comparisons to Python, so let's enlarge the comparison spectrum: Lisp has a better REPL (enjoy ipython ? You'll love a Lisp REPL !), better type inference, it is a compiled language, making it a breeze to build an executable of your web app and deploy it to your server, a better object system (method combination, polymorphism, methods not bound to classes,…), Lisp is stable,…
