Perl has an interactive environment? Since when? How do I get into it?

Python has an interactive environment, sort of. But have you ever actually written a whole program in it? And once you do how do you save it out to disk? When the python program is running can you just press ctrl-c, get back to the prompt, edit your code, inspect some things, and then start the program running again where it left off? Python conflates signals and exceptions whereas Lisp does not. There are many things you can do with the lisp repl that you cannot do with a python interpreter prompt.

And check this out for a good example of a Lisp environment:

If that doesn't enlighten you at all I recommend just sticking with python and being happy. :)
