Is this really that interesting of a site and project? From what I  
saw, it isn't anything that I would point to as an example of "this  
is what you can do in Common Lisp". It looks just like what everybody  
else is doing in Ruby, Python, etc. Isn't there something we can  
point to and say *this* is what you use Common Lisp for?
