In my experience "space" sells to the kids more than money, fast cars and fame. So thanks for your inspiring writing about your work - I'm looking for ways to convince the dean to let me switch some courses from Python (which has jobs) to Lisp (which has excitement, space adventures and really wild things).

LMK if there's anything I can do to help with that.

Racket might be an easier sell, especially when it comes to tooling since it's much easier to pick up for one course.
