the collapse of /prog/

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-25 2:28 ID:TESmC3oP

With the heresy of Abelson, a plague of threads and individual posts have come out attacking the cornerstone of /prog/, the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.  While I do not go so far as to condemn our lost brothers, now walking the road of enterprise programming, I fear for the future of this board.  While there are and always will be others, here is one of the keenest sites of public discussion on computer science.  The work our collective spent on BBCode has greatly expanded the understanding of programming paradigms; the groundbreaking discovery that Python contains, in one word, the forced indentation of code headed off what's now recognized as a potential disaster for the entire field; and perhaps most importantly, we've nurtured a new generation of programmers, analytic minded, creative, striving for satori. 

I don't know about you guys, but Sussman damn it I don't want to see this thing go.  So what can we do?

A word of warning; if you use '_' as a temporary function name, they'll come for you. Abelson will hold you down while Guido swings the bat. Seriously.
