What would TypeLisp or Visual Scheme provide that you can’t get from a repl and a language server integrated into your editor?

At work I write a lot of TypeScript. At how I write a lot of lisp. The lisp is absolutely more ergonomic and extensible.

A first-class IDE that doesn’t take six hours of fiddling and days of research to cobble together. Robust and well-maintained libraries for sockets, I/O, threading, and more. A corporate sponsor for corporations to be able to rely on when choosing to integrate Lisp into their .NET projects.

The ML crowd received F# and that’s practically the only reason anyone still uses anything ML-esque. I would like the same for Lisp. I know Rich Hickey tried to make Clojure for .NET first and failed, though, so I’m not holding my breath.

Atom/Pulsar, or Portacle (portable Emacs with SBCL + Quicklisp), or plain-common-lisp (2 clicks install for Windows), ALIVE for VSCode is getting there, also the newer Intellij plugin. And vim. LispWorks. Sublime, Lem, Jupyter notebooks, and more.
