Lisp is shit and Sussman is a fag

Not used to Sussman's lecturing style - is it called "teaching by example"? - I found him very tiring to listen to; he spoke very fast but told very little, since he used most of his words to go in detail through a number of almost identical examples
One of the oldest examples is presented by the LISP 1.5 Manual: halfway their description of the programming language LISP, its authors give up and from then onwards try to complement their incomplete language definition by an equally incomplete sketch of a specific implementation. Needless to say, I have not been able to learn LISP from that booklet!

[citation needed], also almost noone that actually spent a week writing Lisp code and has used a good structural editor thinks that. I very much prefer editing Lisp code to C or C# code, moving and transforming it is much easier, and reading the semantics is also easy by indentation.
