I am looking at CL myself, but my needs are more hobby than anything, but I want to convince myself I can find it useful for my own work in certain things (e.g. I want to maybe use Bike to run C# code in an SBCL REPL.) The feedback loop one gets with it is insanely fast, even faster than Python (certainly there are exceptions even with Python ...) That's a blessing and curse for me - the tighter a feedback loop, the harder for me to get out of a problem I am stuck on. :) But, so far, I felt like I can write a thing and not worry about running it ... type a thing, quickly get it running it in a running REPL loop. If a mistake happens, I can fix the issue right there, instead of just a long stack trace. For what it is worth though, I have been doing this in Emacs for a long time (well, for small functions), but didn't think much of it until now.
