Lisp tooling is the weirdest of all. On one hand, it allows full introspection and reflection on all internal state. On the other hand, it is almost as clunky as GDB command line. Why is there no visual debugger?

Sometimes I think Emacs was the worst thing to happen to Lisp. It put the language in a "Worse-is-better" box and left it there.

On the contrary, the problem is that people are stuck in the UNIX open source survivors of the Lisp world.

What you want is Lisp Works, Allegro Common Lisp, or Clozure (on macOS).

Or Racket, when on Scheme.

It has only been 70 years, I'm sure it's on its way soon.
