I talked to some folks a while back who were doing algorithm design and 
testing in LISP then converting to JOVIAL for actual implementation.  They 
claimed to be experiencing extremely high productivity using this method.  In 
playing with LISP myself I found that, inspite of its striking dissimilarity 
from any "conventional" (procedural?) language, thinking out a process in LISP 
gave me a much clearer picture of how to think about that process regardless 
of language.
