Ableson vs. Sussman

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-14 9:45

Why does /prog/ love Sussman so much but never talk about Ableson? He's not very charismatic but neither is Sussman. They're both extremely geeky, but Ableson strikes me as a brilliant autist while Sussman comes across like one of those nerds who thinks they're smart because they've mastered Dungeons and Dragons and Star Wars trivia.

Your thoughts?

It's in the pre-interview documents. Google says:
