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?

I don’t think so. Lisp will never be a popular language. Lisp did have an impact but now a days it’s not used by a lot of people and among those who use the language only use it to build toy programs. There’s only a few companies who use it such as Rigetti and hrl labs
