What would be really nice is a new lisp which actually allows for incredibly interactive programming similar to common lisp, but which targets a runtime like the v8 engine maybe.
Because I think a lot of people are missing out on the Smalltalk / Common Lisp experience.
Even Clojure and other lisps do not enable that level of interactive programming which the break loop in Common Lisp does.

- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoI actually built one of my earlier startups on Steelbank Common Lisp and I absolutely love the break loop. To build up a program by iterating on the break loop is just a magical experience and I think one can go even much further with a modern version of it where you can sort of jump around the stack and you can almost do a bunch of these things in common lisp as well but it is something that needs a little bit of work and it doesn't look and feel as modern as some of the other languages so I feel like therelisp as well but it is something that needs a little bit of work and it doesn't look and feel as modern as some of the other languages so I feel like there is an opportunity for a new language.
