Why Common Lisp is now the best programming language

A short essay arguing that LLM-written code makes the feedback loop the bottleneck, and that Common Lisp shortens it best: an image-based runtime that hot-swaps functions without restarts, a debugger that pauses instead of crashing so an LLM can fix and resume, and code written as lists, which makes macros possible.
