A comment on Why Lisp?. Parent comment

I wonder what it is that prevents e.g. python from having a similar “persistent state in development” tool/repl? I’ve never really used lisp other than a MAL I did a few years ago for kicks so I’m not well versed in its dev tooling.

You can definitely do something similar with e.g. ipdb

  from ipdb import launch_ipdb_on_exception
  with launch_ipdb_on_exception():
    foo()
