(By the way is it "static typist" or "static typer" ?)

Lispers need to cooperate with others on libraries. Maybe a Consortium of
Underdog Dynamically-Typed Languages needs to be started. Underdog 
languages are more interested in libraries and cooperation.

For each library, a language-agnostic interface description (in
LAID language, of course) should be generated by porters, so that 
later FFIs could be produced for each language automatically. This 
is the opposite (and complementary to) SWIG: SWIG auto-generates dumb
interface information and needs a lot of human post-work for each 
specific language.
