Funny -- this is why I love working in Lisp. I can edit the code and retry it, often by just restarting the stack frame. Compiling takes milliseconds.
An untyped lisp does not check the entire code base for usages of the thing you are editing though. I agree that for exploring local behaviour a REPL is fantastic.
I agree 100%.
Compiler errors are strictly superior to runtime errors. It's as simple as that.
thanks for resolving this discussion on behalf of the developer community
Yeah he didn’t give any evidence but he is right ;)
