Real quick:

-Clojure also has list comprehension, so use what you like.

-You cannot compare the repls, at all. If used standalone, sure, but that's not how it's done. You send s-expressions for evaluation, from your editor, and that's the magic. There does not exist any kind of equivalent repl-based workflow for python or really anything that isn't a lisp. Fix errors live is literally what it excels at, so I'm not sure what you mean by that.

-Macros get messy and avoiding them when possible is good, yes. Still, the power is there. But as far as DSLish stuff I prefer manipulating and "running" straight data structures, like re-frame events. Data is code :)

Also:

-CLJS

-Edn+transit

-Datomic

-Live exploration/visualization tooling. As in above, or Portal, or re-frame10x/re-frisk, dev tools, dirac... obviously first you need your basic environment sorted. I use vim with conjure.
