There are many many comments from people who watch the Light Table video, which is clearly written in a Lisp, and come away thinking that it'll work for their Javas, Pythons, or C#s. Yet, it is not at all clear to me that Light Table is an appropriate IDE for languages that are not functional and are not homoiconic.

I don't think it is entirely Chris's responsibility for dispelling Java developers of this crazy notion that Light Table is for them, and it might hurt the fundraising effort; but would you really want to be funded by people who have no real grasp of what you're building?
