You type 'proc' and let the editor autocomplete that for you: this is a long solved issue.
I like the parens for the structured editing they allow. Also, you don't need parens to be homoiconic.

The -O3 switch removes a recursive call, among other things (https://godbolt.org/z/oS3Cju).

You don't really start from scratch though (at least I don't): most of the time you can reuse idioms with minimal adaptation.

I disagree: it's not that hard to gradually get to a solution via the REPL.

But you don't have to write a proof to sort a list in Idris. So you're not being honest with your comparison.

Latest release is June 28, 2018. SBCL REPL kinda sucks by itself but nobody uses it that way.

I hope you realize the Idris code actually prove that the list will be correctly sorted, unlike your python code.

Yeah, you managed to link a comment with some code (although I agree it looks useless)... I expected a github link to some lib relying on undocumented macros.

Anyone can write bad code. Lisp certainly makes it easier, I won't deny it. And no, I don't have a problem, thank you.

Come on. A lack of tests or documentation isn't specific to Lisp. TBH, I'd rather use a well-designed DSL than a shitty API.
