I'm guerilla coding a small web app to do some very non-standard
statistical analysis of customer returns (ABS/ESC systems for cars).
The whole thing is in stealth mode. So it won't ever be released to
the public. (When I look at the code, I have to say: "Luckily!") It is
a webapp to allow some closely related departments to access the
information w/o having to deploy an app.

It's a lisp and my exclusive language for hobby projects since March
2008. The only other language I have a comparable knowledge is C. And
I didn't want to start with C. Also deploy: Java is here ubiquitous. I
can just take a plain jar to some machine and am done. (I'm didn't
kill a kitten. I sacrificed a puppy instead.) I have an embedded
nailgun server my vimclojure talks to. So I can hot swap functions and
immediately test in the browser. (I'm sure there are better ways to do
this, but at the moment this is efficient enough for me)

I can't say anything for that one. I would have to learn how to write
a webapp first.

Clojure is fun. :)
