The nipple is absolutely intuitive - it's instinctive. All baby mammals suckle for it. Though, of course, maybe less instinctive for adult mammals :-)

for your function example, the a=[] is not a way of initializing values per se, but is an initialized default value. If you are not passing a list reference in, and not returning anything, your function foo() without an arg does nothing.

Awesome! Also noticed that it retains your session (at least for a while) even if you close the browser windown. It seems however to give up when trying to write code on multiple lines.

I don't find Clojure all that ugly. I think it's tiny bit of extra "syntax" help make it much more readable. When I see [] I know I'm in a vector and when I see {} I know I'm in a map.

Well, do you really want ALL possibilities, or just valid ones (actual words - HZLLO is not a word)? If you want all possibilities, I might suggest wrapping it in a function that can lazily return the possibilities one by one as needed (see

Disclaimer noted, but as to your lisp/HTML example, HTML and lisps actually have a lot in common - if you strip away the end tags and the angle brackets, you get something very lispy looking <div> <span>Hello<
