/prog/, if Sussman is so great, then why does Abelson appear first on the cover of SICP? Other points to prove my point:

* Does not wear glasses (ie. not genetically defective)
* Does not wear a silly hit
* He has a badass comb-over.
* Is an EXPERT PROGRAMMER

The Sussman uses the glasses only as a fashion accessory; he does not need them.
Does not wear a silly hat

How will they be able to talk about tail recursion in 6.001 when python is a defective language that does not implement it?

tail recursion is just obfuscated while loops anyway.

Obfuscation is just obfuscated clarity anyway.
