What is the quintessential lisp experience? (alien.top)

Hello, what is the quintessential lisp experience?

Is it the interactivity that is enabled by Common Lisp? So if this is the case could you say a bit about how SLIME + Common Lisp work together to experience the beauty of lisp experience?

Moreover if macros are the killer feature of lisp because you can extend the language and make dsls wouldn’t racket offer a quintessential lisp experience?

Now there are 4 different half-finished ones, none of which is feature complete and none of which have been maintained in years

On the other hand, if they were written with standard CL, they probably all still work.

If by "work" you mean "compile", then sure.
