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!

Behold a typical Java programmer. Show her a complete language implementation in two pages of code and she just wouldn't believe you, like, who are you trying to fool with this bullshit, if you had a 900-page spec and 1Mb of source then she would look more carefully, but you are not even trying!
