You're in a running Lisp session and dynamically adding and changing
definitions. You can even break the execution of a Lisp session and
make changes from in the debugger.

Until you can do that with Java, it won't be the same.

You can, if you use Eclipse.

I hope you weren't trying to imply Eclipse is a nice development environment.
And even if you were you still have to agree that it is a slow, bloated beast.

Eclipse is better than any crap that Lisp has, and is only slow and
bloated if you get your systems out of the dumpster.
