>Could you give me an example of a real-world software engineering task which takes “weeks” in Python and minutes in Lisp? Not "weeks vs hours" but let me offer my personal experience. I already had around 3 years of professional experience in Python and about the same in Common Lisp. Last year I had to create a small utility to help some document scanning process, this included doing some OCR. I had the choice to do this in Lisp or Python or whatever language (I also could as well have written the stuff in Java, C#, C, JS, etc.) Initially I thought "ok, i have good tesseract binding and PDF output libs in Python, where as the Lisp bindings look unmaintained" so i chose Python. Well, back into Python's antiquated way of working: No compiler-time checking of anything, and, even worse, upon finding an error, there was no way of correcting the offending function and restarting program execution at that point (restarting a stack frame). No sir, I had to run my whole program again (this was an interaction heavy program) to test it again. So MANY hours were lost in just having to restart the program again and do all the clicks needed to bring back the program to a specific state. Where with Common Lisp those hours would be reduced to zero, since I can modify the program while it's running and I can always inspect all stack frames and restart them at will. Not to mention other benefits in terms of being able to write code that is way higher in abstraction level. Not to mention I can actually SAVE the current program's state to disk and resume it back at a later date. And not to mention that the Lisp program would probably had executed 20 to 30 times faster as well. So far, that's the last time I chose to use Python for non-trivial tasks.
