This is compelling: “ First and foremost, I can write a program by starting a Lisp running and teaching it incrementally to be the program I want. The Lisp is already a working program; it just isn't the one I want to build. So I teach it one expression at a time how to be the program I want. When it does everything I want it to do correctly and well, I'm done. I can save it and ship it.” I really find this compelling. I’m going to give the language a shot. I get some of this with Python. When stuck with a small thing I can code it in the Repl or even import a module or function of my own making and iterate on it.
