Sussman attains enlightenment

Name: Anonymous 2008-05-04 19:31

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Sussman raised his wand, forming the pool of parentheses now gathered around him into a sharp, pointed cone aimed at Asakura.  Suddenly, he shouted "LISP!" and the concepts involved, without the bullshit a modern language foists on you to see, whether specified source-code with an entire ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION SYSTEM with bbcode!!!

somebody please add to the story

and the concepts involved, without the bullshit a modern language foists on you to see,
This phrase sounds surprisingly elegant and fitting to the story. The next sentences, if I remember correctly, are something like tihs:

made the parentheses shoot forward at Asakura. "It's time for some ENTERPRISE QUALITY!" Asakura shouted as she conjured the spirits of the JVM, creating a flood of boiling-hot coffee that slowly made its way towards the Sussman, colliding with his issuance of parentheses.
