For the first round, I'd try to prepare a modified version of the ants demo: 1) simplify as much as possible 2) introduce a couple of macros, to show the power of syntax abstractions (without going into any details, of course) 3) modify some parameter interactively That should demonstrate - concurrency without locks (again, no details in four minutes) - the power of macros - Java integration (the GUI) - interactivity The last point is the least important because the others have it as well, but it's still good to see interactivity in practice. The big missing points would be functional programming and immutable data structures.
