Can you give an example of an undiscovered gem?

  No idea why someone would downmod that but I have neutralized them. :) "Undiscovered" is of course a relative term. I'd cite the languages of Arthur Whitney here: they're "discovered" enough to have made a lot of money, but are unknown to the vast majority of the computing world and widely misunderstood even by those who have heard of them. Qi isn't absolutely "undiscovered" - here we are talking about it - but it's largely unknown and unused. Tarver strikes me as a smart guy doing serious work in an intelligent way. For example, building Qi on top of CL (in such a way that you can drop in to CL whenever you want, though this point is redundant) seems like an obvious win. I don't feel a need to use something that right now, but I'm also skeptical of the "I don't feel a need to use that" feeling... perhaps we are all Blub to Qi!
