Can you give a concrete example of something useful that's hard to do in Python but would be so much easier in Lisp?
Languages give you a certain amount of expressive power. By stretching the language, you can always reach a bit higher. Python can reach Lisp. It's just damn ugly. Worse Is Better ugly.
Right now, everything that I complained about in the top post, I "fixed". But it's damn ugly. So I don't build anything on top of it. I just use it. If these features were done the Right Way, I'm sure the next abstraction level would be obivious. That's how it always goes.
