@dylanisaiah AuDHD here. Also a Common Lisp enjoyer.I love the extremely tight feedback loop and how interactive of a development style you get with the language. How anything and everything can be immediately inspected and poked at in the REPL as genuine objects. I like that it's a standardized language, effectively frozen you don't have to deal with things like a new version of a language breaking things. The uniform syntax of Lisp (s-expressions) also aids in low cognitive load imo.With Common Lisp you get a language that lends itself towards a functional style but firmly multiparadigm.What usually doesn't work for me are languages that I can't interactively use. Using Common Lisp feels like I'm literally touching a program, molding it with my hands, meanwhile nearly every other language feels like simply staring at text on a screen.See here for another perspective on Lisp as it relates to a learning disability in particular, extremely interesting: https://www.iwillig.me/blog/on-dyslexia-and-lisp/
