I'm just wondering do you feel a little bit embarrassed about having supported and read a book which has been deemed by its authors to be no longer relevant? I am of course referring to "SICP."

[00:21] <littledan> slava, this channel is logged. Don't offend the wrong people!
[00:21] <slava> littledan: offend who?
[00:21] <littledan> the mightly schemers, I mean
[00:21] <slava> unemployed freaks who write 'sum-list' functions in their shitty scheme implementations?
[00:21] <slava> fuck them all
[00:21] <slava> they don't know anything about programming
[00:21] <slava> there
[00:21] <slava> I offended them
[00:22] <slava> seriously, I don't understand people who call themselves hackers and claim programming is art
[00:22] <slava> programming is engineering, plain and simple
[00:23] <slava> its a very precise process and if your code is too slow, or doesn't have the right features, then it plain sucks, who cares if it looks elegant or not
[00:23] <slava> that's why scheme is useless
