I understand the concept (Lisp is close enough that you might pull people over) but that also means it is a great language you are trying to drag them from, so... yer gonna need a bigger tractor.

For those old enough to remember, this was pretty much the Dylan approach: pick another minority language (Lisp again) and try vigourously to attract users from it, while annoying other users. Ignore the real target audience (C++ then, Java now). Later, die.
