I do scientific computing and a lisp was one of my first languages, so i feel like i ought to be the target audience, but it just never quite catches me.

It’s almost statically compilable which has almost gotten me to pick it up a few times, but apparently it still can’t compile a lot of the most important ecosystem packages yet.

The metaprogramming has almost gotten me to pick it up a few times, but apparently there aren’t mature static anti-footgun tools, even to the degree of mypy’s pseudo-static analysis, so I wouldn’t really want to use those in prod or even complex toy stuff.

It’s so damned interesting though. I hope it gets some of this eventually.
