I know of schemes like XML??? Good luck replacing that...

For me it's a little different. I know Scheme is an inferior language, so there's no point in knowing about any of this. Hence I care so little, that I didn't bother to read the article. Sometimes, I like to be reminded of how superior I am.

I didn't understand a word of that gobbledygook. I better turn in my nerd credentials, before someone catches on. :(

From the article, I didn't even pick up that this was a programming language lol...

Nobody in Slashdot knows anything about programming. That's why I left it in ~2006 and never looked back.

how do you even find anything about programming on slashdot? I only see a section for Linux and Security on the front page

Scheme suffers from a lack of a proactive BDFL. It's a classic example of design by comittee.

Le Sussman said he doesn't like any programming language, even those he helped creating¹.

/. is /b/ for older dudes.

In high school, I befriended a middle-aged, unemployed, neckbearded Linux hacker who frequented a local coffee shop and rode his bike everywhere. He loved C and Perl, had fond memories of using APL in college (I wish I had told him about J), and was an honest-to-god user of Gentoo Linux.

I have other details, but the one most relevant to this thread is that he browsed /.

I wonder how he's doing...

I've browsed /. since around 2000. My user number is 6 digits.
