I'm curious on just how new this is. Feels like very similar things have been demoed before in environments like Dr Racket.

Still lots of fun, mind you. And anything to bring these environments to more folks. I just worry about things that only demo well if well rehearsed. Which seems to be more technology than makes sense.




This stuff dates back to the Lisp Machine at least. But Clojure is the only relevant Lisp left, so no exciting Lisp technology actually officially exists until Rich Hickey invents it.


Oh come on, there's still the undying Common Lisp, and also Emacs Lisp has a lot of relevance, even if indirectly.


Satire is hard to detect...


Oh. I can hear it now.
