Any real world problem solved in Lisp, relative to being solved in Python, eliminates the superfluous problem of Python being involved: a syntactically Fortran-like cumbersome scripting language with somewhat Lispy semantics.

Note that you can program the CL system by expressing yourself in Python:

Common Lisp is not only a language, but also a platform (analogous to Mono or JVMs). It has a model of computation: programs expand fully down to a set of special forms, which then compile. You can build languages on top of this.



So your answer is 'I have no such example' ?


I think it would be pretty hard to write something like algo.monads in python when macros are not available.
