Porygon (ポリゴン, Porigon?) is the first man-made Pokémon, the product of extensive research by Silph Co. It consists entirely of programming code, allowing it to convert itself entirely back to program data. This allows it to move freely in cyberspace. This code is copy protected in order to prevent duplication of it. This code is fairly basic, limiting Porygon to certain pre-programmed motions, actions and reactions. As it does not need to breathe, it is used in various environments, even ones normally considered inhospitable.

Suave Lisp Space Toad is the first mascot made with alien technology, the product of extensive research by SICP Co. It consists entirely of programming code, allowing it to convert itself entirely back to program data. This allows it to move freely in cyberspace. This code is full of parentheses in order to make it unreadable. This code is fairly basic, limiting Suave Lisp Space Toad to certain pre-programmed motions, actions and reactions. As it does not need to breathe, it is used in various environments, even ones normally considered inhospitable.

Holy crap, I tried to hit M-> in order to goto the end of the post so that I could yank the lisp space toad.

I did in the first place, but the result was ugly. I had to use a shitty soft coded in Java. Sorry for breaking the myth.

Porygon is probably programmed in Lisp, or even the almighty Scheme. It's mostly used for AI work, anyway.

Heh. That Pascal guy is actually a respectable contributor to c.l.l. Not that I have read c.l.l since Xah Lee started spamming the fuck out of the functional groups.

No. He writes a lot. Just like anyone's blog. Doesn't make it interesting, nor does it make it interesting if you cross-post it to irrelevant newsgroups, after being asked by everyone to stop. Why wouldn't I be interested in the opinion of someone who can't even listen to anyone? Even if I were interested, I've read some of his posts and his web site, and; still not interested.

But where would /prog/ be without the rich originality and stunning creative effort that so permeates every post that here is posted? Why, were we to follow your advice, we should be debased to simple repetition, with new posts being made that offered little or none in the way of novel content and food for thought.
I ask you, where would we be?
