Gee, I wonder why the tooling for ML in Lisp is missing even though the early ML frameworks were in Lisp. Perhaps there is something about the language that stifles truly wide collaboration?

I doubt it considering there are massive Clojure codebases with large teams collaborating on them every day. The lack of Lisp tooling and the prevalence of Python are more a result of inertia, low barrier to entry and ecosystem lock-in.
