Yeah, I think the link posted here is doing little to make lisp popular, especially compared for example to a nice tutorial like the Seesaw example one to build GUIs in Clojure [0]. There, you can see how interactive Clojure is, and how fast it can be to develop stuff. Note that I took this example because it's on the top of my mind, but I am sure similar proves of interactivity can be made for other lisps.

Holy crap, Seesaw looks awesome! See, that's far more powerful - I had no idea that even existed, and now I'm excited to play around with it. This is great!

I don't need a cartoon to sell me on something. I need to see how something can be used.


Thank you so much for that link!. I'd been meaning to check out Seesaw, and it really lives up to its promise of making Java GUI's less painful.
