Guy Steele

I don't understand this guy, no pun intended. First he writes the lambda papers and co-designs Scheme with Sussman. Then he goes and joins Sun to work on Java. Did he hit his head so hard and lost all intelligence? Did he make a pact with the devil? Is it a tarp? I'm confused.

the quote is something like
"We were after the C++ programmers. We managed to drag them halfway to lisp. aren't you happy?"
The haskell dudes did the same with c#, as they said, "selling their souls to OOP rescue the average programmers"
