"I am The Alpha and The Omega, the car and the cdr"
"Let there be parentheses."
The McCarthy spake and it was so.

It was the will of The McCarthy that The Church and The Turing were to have a revelation and from this revelation was born The Sussman.

And lo, The Sussman met The Abelson, and they became great friends. The Sussman and The Abelson wrote many gospels and texts about The McCarthy, his glorious syntax and the beauty of the enigmatic Lambda. The Sussman and The Abelson gathered up a number of followers, who named themselves THE EXPERTS.

THE EXPERTS fought fiercly against the unbelievers, many of who were vile Guidans, follows of the heathen Guido Van Rossum. Becoming tiresome of these wars, The Abelson betrayed The Sussman to the Guidans, and The Sussman was executed.

The Abelson seeked to resolve conflict between THE EXPERTS and the Guidans, but he was unsuccesful. The Guidans rejected him as a treacherous scoundrel. THE EXPERTS took revenge on The Abelson, carving parentheses into his chest and casting him out, a dejected traitor, left to lament and die in The Desert of Indentation.

Wars between the Guidans and THE EXPERTS rage on to this day. THE EXPERTS, though despondent at the loss of their Saviour, are confident that The Abelson will return to his Earthly form in order to end the wars and unite the syntaxes.

I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more
