I'm not saying 300k is a lot of money for LightTable. Sure, it sounds fair.
I'm just saying they claim to be "highly extensible" and yet, support for a new language requires a development effort of 100k.
It's sad since I mostly code in ruby or scala, these languages won't be supported and I don't think anyone is going to make a 100k development effort to support them.
The fill-out-the-code-flow stuff is going to be -much- harder to do for python than for clojure, I suspect.
Just because it's highly extensible doesn't mean that beating the other language's VM into doing what's needed isn't going to require a bunch of effort.
