I wonder what Paul Graham thinks of Clojure, which is the only Lisp I really have experience with. I love being able to take advantage of all the wonderful Java libraries out…

This is going to be bananas for libpython-clj[1]. One of the biggest limiting factors right now is that you can't mix Java/Clojure concurrency with Python concurrency, you need to have a really clear separation of concurrency models. But with this, you will be able to freely mix Clojure and Python concurrency. Just from a compositional standpoint, Clojure atoms and core.async with Python functions will be fantastic. More practically, this will unlock a lot of performance gains with PyTorch and Tensorflow which historically we've had to lock to single threaded mode. Yay!
