If you're happy with your mix of Python and Hy, well, great. But you know what, you can do what you described with CL too! Need to do some webscraping? Beautiful Soup -> lquery. Django -> well… no CL framework gives you all these batteries included, but what if you want to extract data from a Postgres DB and display it in a web app? that's very easy [1] in CL too. Django ORM -> postmodern or Mito (or more). IDK about Nix but several people are working with CL and Guix.

What worked out for me was to write companion services in CL, instead of extending my big Django app. This new service that takes data from a FTP server, transforms it, stores it, displays it in a web app? CL. That web app that serves another kind of customers than the Django one? A CL app. It isn't for everybody and sometimes you wish for a bigger ecosystem, but anyways, many things can be done in CL.
[1]: ok honestly the learning process was not that easy. It's a bit easier with my contributions now! (Cookbook etc)
