...Well, then, maybe cast your net a bit wider? There are plenty of other reasons to use lisps.
I'm a Schemer, and Scheme IS a lisp: we don't have restarts, but we do have call/cc, and images as Lisp has them are an optimization hack in any case. And we're finally getting some well supported implementations. Yes, we have hot code loading in most implementations.
Come to the dark side, we have (lexical) cookies (encoded with the current continuation after baking, of course).
