I think this effort will make a difference. From my Cadence
experience, being able to script just about anything with their Lisp
justified the effort of learning their Lisp. The added bonus was that
their Lisp was used in scripting their waveform viewer, layout tool,
spice integration. A second key to success was their CIW, the command
interpreter window. In that window all Lisp code could be written
interactively and the evaluation would be visible in whatever window
was referenced from the code. Much like the REPL. Or ipython for
pythonists or tkcon for tclers.
