Right but given that the agent only outputs text, and agents are perfectly happy writing python, the supposed benefit of Lisp is completely irrelevant here.

Yeah, it's a small example (it's in the title, "100 lines") so obviously doesn't highlight the best benefits once you reach larger codebase size.

Still think ~8 lines for the core loop is probably more elegant, readable and concise than you can achieve in other algol/C-like languages, but happy to be shown that I'm wrong :)
