> I can't imagine REPL-based "development" is good for anything other than one-liners and quick-n-dirty one-off stuff. Perhaps your imagination would benefit from some elevation. Try shrooms or something :) I think your understanding of what a REPL actually is might be somewhat skewed due to a shallow understanding of how it works with Lisp dialects. The experience of working with the REPL in Python, for example, is not equal to the experience in e.g., Clojure. There are many different companies that leverage Lisp dialects to build their businesses. Companies like Cisco, Apple, Walmart, Nubank, Grammarly, Funding Circle, Pitch.com, Rate.com, and many others are not using it for "quick-and-dirty one-off stuff"
