It could give a jumpstart tutorial of several systems. To give people
both an idea of how to get rolling, and that he/she can use more than
one system. Basic features upon which to build live code experiments.
Learning (the systems, not a particular style necessarily) by example.

Good point.

It should also inspire and pique the desire to live code.
