To everyone who pointed it out, yes my Lisp is Clay talk video wasn't up when I posted this! Here it is now: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HDE7JZ-lisp-is-clay/

I had a really strong positive reaction from the audience on this talk! If you've ever been wondering "well why is Spritely in lisp/scheme and what are those lisp people doing over there anyway" OR if you have had a hard time articulating why Lisp is great (and not just "it has macros"!) here's a talk for you!

I have an odd relationship with Lisp as a Smalltalker. After all Smalltalk was once described as "Lisp for people who hate lisp" :neocat_laugh:
