Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.
There's something of a tradition of REPLs having personalities in lisp. I've seen Common Lisp tools (e.g. slime/sly) and Clojure (e.g. cider) say encouraging things, but Fennel is almost judgemental :)
I'm very much enjoying this introduction to Slime on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B_4vhsmRRI
It demonstrates many different features with clear explanations and a good working example.
