Well, the guy isn't a typesetting expert, he's a language designer. I daresay once the lout community attracts a larger userbase there will be people capable of producing the kind of stuff in the TeX showcase; right now all I can definitely say is that lout has fitted my particular needs a lot more pleasantly and naturally than TeX has.
This is a useful thread about the differences between the two languages. This is probably the best post I've seen on the topic, from someone who's used both languages intensively.
I gather his goal is to be a bit more inclusive than pricelessware - only a handpicked best-of-breed selection gets listed on the latter, and has to be voted in anew every year. People who have no problem with linux distros including seven different text editors should welcome the new site:)
I was sceptical at first (it looked too much like a 'toy'), but jGRASP has proven surprisingly useful for getting to grips with legacy C code (reams and reams of 1000+ line functions with nested ifs and cases). It should be useful for teaching purposes too, since it allows collapsing bits of code to show the underlying structure, and handles block exits better than a folding editor would
First they included Gnome 2.6, and I did not speak up because I did not run Gnome 2.6
Then they included Gnome 2.8, and I did not speak up because I did not run Gnome 2.8
And when they included KDE 3.4, there was no one left to speak up for me.
The original (and I believe it was Sam Lloyd himself who came up with it) had RATEYOUR in on colour of tile and MINDPAL in another, so there was no possibility of swapping the As around.

reinvent it pretty damn sweetly

Read Martin Fowler on closures - it's a very good introduction to the topic, and uses Ruby as the example language.
sheesh.

Yakov Perelman's very sadly out of print "Mathematics Can Be Fun". Practically an entire generation of geeks in India grew up on that one.
As much as I like the gimp, it's seriously handicapped Well, duh...
