As an interviewer, I like when candidates explain how they're going to solve the problem first. Either on the whiteboard, with comments or pseudo code. It's easier for me to help and guide them when I know where they're going

Yeah, that's a great way to look at it. Just to add to your point, why in hell would someone use Emacslisp? Well, it has a killer app (Emacs / org-mode / etc.) and people learned and used it. I wonder if ClojureScript ->
