You know you asked a good question on Google when you end up here. Thanks for the talk, it's very informative. Languages should be views not worlds.. I'll have to give that some thought.
Reminds me of doing things with mathematical objects and in doing so discovering others. Like code is just a position in the abstract world too. Write in C#, view it in lisp to make some edits, further adjustments in Lazy K, back to C# and the new code looks just how I would have written it. Could effectively move language features around by calling a library written for another language. :-/ Can only hope. :) Thank you for the talk.
Oh yay, "-update 1" is how to make xclock tick the seconds, I'd been meaning to look that up so I was really happy to learn it from that example! :D So then I got really excited with all this talk of getting these separate worlds of all these languages to come together, I was hoping that too would be something so immediately graspable. But alas I suppose it won't be so easy. This library seems like a really cool tool for trying to pry the worlds open a little bit, to try to get them to live and breathe a little bit. But it's fighting so many deeply ingrained habits of all of the systems it's trying to integrate. It seems like waking them up like that would just give you intimate immediate access to how impossible everything still is to connect, no? But maybe it could be possible to retrain them with the right tools, hmm.

Anyone knows what desktop or window manager is he using? It looks like motif but it isn't exactly motif I think.

Excellent talk, insightful perspective
I think there is a typo in your "Hello World". It's the second instance. Otherwise good presentation. :)
