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!

I remember an interesting history:
Many years ago, a new company got responsible for maintaining the Sao Paulo metro routing, and when they presented their version of the system, one of the metro's managers told: “There's something wrong, this program is running too fast! The older system always took about ten minutes of processing. Let the computer work some more.”
People just added a sleep secretly, and then, in the next day, the manager aknowledged their work: “Hmmm, now we're dealing with a robust system. Good work!”
