Interesting, but the video is from 2013 and there was a lot of progress since with a lot of more ergonomic "live coding" languages.

Not sure about more "ergonomic" languages, I have seen LiveCoding music performances before, and I don't believe they were using Lisp. This also shows some expert s-exp editing in a supportive environment.

I was mostly sharing this because it demonstrated the experience of live coding in a REPL for general purpose programming use.

(I've read accounts of people putting a coding agent on one to amazing results).

Looks like time is flying much faster than I'm aware of; most of the languages I have in mind are indeed older than 2013. At least a few are younger, e.g. Strudel, which is more ergonomic than Common Lisp for the use case.
