Yes, there are few ideas here that haven't been explored in some form -
Smalltalk / Squeak come immediately to mind. Yet Smalltalk / Squeak still
don't have much in the way of real reach. Chris Granger is taking some of
these great ideas and putting them into a package that working programmers
actually care about - JavaScript development. That he is smuggling in Lisp
is just icing on the cake.

It takes money and time to develop grand ideas. Failure is ok.
