I'm teaching a friend to code. We're not starting with a lisp, but I wanted him to understand why the idea of dispensing with bespoke syntax in favor of s-expressions is not crazy. That is, why the "soul" of a language is not its syntax. He knows HTML already. Many do, we were raised by Myspace after all. So, this page turned out to be a great example of some nontrivial lisp to look at together. I also love how the code for the page is in the page, so you don't have to look elsewhere to see what it's trying to render. I may or may not use the tool, but I'm quite happy it exists. Thanks!
