REPL vs CLI: IDE wars

Maybe it's not required. However, I can confidently say Clojure in emacs feels like an entirely different development experience than my daily Python work in PyCharm/VSCode and C# in VS. I recommend trying it out if you haven't already.

And I recommend trying out Smalltalk.

As a hobby I want to learn a lisp. Where should I begin? :)

MAL. AKA Make A Lisp. Instructions to write a tail recursion lisp interpreter in a weekend in almost any language. It teaches almost anything you want to know about lisp, plus some practical compiler/interpreter knowledge.

Install sbcl, slime, gnu emacs in some form.

See the book Practical Common Lisp for an intro: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/

If you want to see how Lisp environments used to be on the hey day of Lisp, check the community editions from Lisp Works and Allegro Common Lisp.

Scheme is a nice start. You can write a basic interpreter for it over the course of a few weeks
