Awesome to hear. My secret hope is that a Lisp, possibly Clojure, can become a dominant teaching language, and then perhaps a popular industry one as well. Then there will be more Lisp work out there, which I think would be rad for programming in general.

My school teaches Racket (http://racket-lang.org/), and I know a lot of other schools do as well.

From what I've heard from the PLT people, they are definitely interested in bringing these experiences to Racket; hopefully experience with LightTable will provide some insight in how to do that.

By Racket here do you mean DrRacket?

DrRacket is an IDE for the Racket language. I never really understood why it stopped being DrScheme, or why Racket looks a LOT like Scheme. Then I read this http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html

Yeah, I was asking if the experience he was talking about was an editing one.
