Have another look at https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl maybe? There might be more than you think. I know I have regularly discovered great libraries the last years.

All 4 points why I like Lisp so much more than Python!

That's why Lisp has multiple return values, which are different from returning a tuple. It's great for refactoring. ( https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/functions.html#mu... )

Well in Common Lisp we can. We can build a self-contained binary, run it, start a Swank server, connect to it from home and code against the running program. We can even install new libraries without stopping anything. Not saying it's

FYI the Atom SLIMA package is very good: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... Emacs is still the best, but not THE required editor anymore.

Here's an overview: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/ In short, the Python process has to restart to take changes in, and you loose your objects in the REPL. The Lisp process doesn't and is built t

Hello late. Do you mean can we script the hot reload? Yes, here's a quick link: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/web.html#hot-relo... you basically start a Swank server on the running app, connect to it

Hello late: Common Lisp does quite a lot of compile-time type checks though: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/type.html it's not as extensive as type-safe languages, but clearly far better than any inter
