IVE MANIPULATED SEXPS

When he finished his talk Why Python is an acceptable Lisp Peter Norvig took questions and to my surprise called first on the rumpled old guy who had wandered in just before the talk began and eased himself into a chair just across the aisle from me and a few rows up.

"Yes, John?" Peter said.

I won't pretend to remember Lisp inventor John McCarthy's exact words which is odd because there were only about ten but he simply asked if Python could gracefully manipulate Python code as data.

"No, John, it can't," said Peter and nothing more, graciously assenting to the professor's critique, and McCarthy said no more though Peter waited a moment to see if he would and in the silence a thousand words were said.

Ive exploited the similarity of preterit and past perfect forms of many verbs for fun and profit.

machine code can!!!

Hmph, that's what a novice would think.  In reality, they were arguing at speeds faster than the sound, launching devastating attacks at each other and canceling each other out.  They must have tied, or you would have heard the winner's last argument.

Please, stop denigrating Lisp, faggots!

Python is an acceptable Java, honestly.

and neither does Java!

Sounds like a scene from the New Testament.

McCarthy in his eighties is still a productive person. While you suck cocks on imageboards, he is trying to innovate language design

Lisp is for faggots.
