Cl Condition system + repl = godmode. Your software crashes? Do you go back and set a breakpoint? No, because you’re already in the stacktrace in the repl exactly where the crash occurred. You fix the code, reload it, tell it to ether run where it left off, or restart from an earlier point.

Flask and Django have the exact same functionality - I've already said that this thing you guys keep talking is just a matter catching exceptions.

That is definitely not the same. I write a lot of python code and the interpreter / interactive development is just not as good as it is in Common Lisp.

To my knowledge there’s no real “mainstream” language that goes all in on interactive development. Breakpoints and traceback are all perfectly cromulent ways to debug, but it’s really not the same, sadly.

exceptions unwind the stack in all languages I know except in CL

and Smalltalk ;-)!

good to know! but the point still stands :D
