[Expert]Interview with a Lambda[AMA]

Name: Anonymous 2013-04-11 18:24

So for something different, we're going to have a direct dialogue and focus on a one resident Lambda Arthur Calculus / Sgt Kabukiman(?) and ask him any questions we have, see what makes him tick, and what the future holds for the last man alive to have ever read the standard.

I'll start off.

Lambda, you seem to have a propensity for C(89) over LISP(Scheme), is this because of your relation with dmr? Or because you prefer the McCarthy-derived syntax or just an overall greater personal familiarity with C?

Name: Anonymous 2013-04-11 18:34

I thought Kabukiman was electrocuted to death by the Jews.

AINT NO FUCKIN LISP PROGRAMMERS WHO ACT LIKE RETOIDED STACKBOYS. GOTTA SHOW THE STACK BOYS WHAT'S WHAT; GOTTA PROGRAM IN STACK BOY LANGUAGES TO DO THAT. DEANIS RICKY WAS A GOOD MAN, WROTE A SOLID LANGUAGE, AND STOOD BY AS IT GOT TORN APART BY A BUNCH OF MENACING HYENAS, STACK BOYS, AND YASHAVANT KANETKARS. I WRITE C CODE TO SHOW STACKBOYS WHAT'S WHAT, AND SCHEME FOR MY OWN PERSONAL SHIT COS KIDZ DEEZ DAYS R TOO STUPID TO LEARN DA WAY OF DA LAMBDA CALCULUS; DEY'RE TOO STUPID TO EVEN GET C RIGHT.

Or because you prefer the McCarthy-derived syntax or just an overall greater personal familiarity with C?
NOW WHY DA FUCK DID MCCARTHY DIE? DO U THINK HE WAS JUST COPYIN DEANIS OR SUMTHIN? I MET HIM ONCE BUT I THINK I CAME ON TOO STRONG N HE RAN OFF.

I thought Kabukiman was electrocuted to death by the Jews.
HE FELL VICTIM TO KABUTERIMON'S ELECTROSHOCKER ATTACK. I AINT HIM, I'M LAMBDA ARTHUR CALCULUS AND KABUTERIMON IS MY DIGIVOLVED FORM.

You mentioned how this generation's programming hopefuls aren't able to grok the lambda calculus, and this has been reflected in academia with MIT abandoning Scheme for it's 6.001 course and replacing it with Python. Do you see this trend continuing as the young minds of today become progressively bogged down with inane frivolities? Will this singularize, as hard tech progresses and a neural interface is achieved, to the point where all that the "programmer" does is think about the program they want and the machine then produces the code autonomously in response?

I DUNNO. DA PEOPLE AT MIT R FUCKIN CRAZY. FUCKIN RICARD STALLMAN LIVES THERE. U EVER SEEN HIM IN REAL LIFE? I THINK HE REALLY IS A STALL MAN TOO, USES THE STALLS INSTEAD OF THE URINALS WHEN HE NEEDS TO TAKE A PISS. NOT ME, I GO BEHIND THE TREES IF THERE ARE TREES AND I'M WELL COVERED, OTHERWISE I JUST USE A URINAL.

Will this singularize, as hard tech progresses and a neural interface is achieved, to the point where all that the "programmer" does is think about the program they want and the machine then produces the code autonomously in response?
FUCK MAN, I HAD THE IDEA OF NEURAL INTERFACES ONCE WHEN I WAS STONED. COMPUTER'S WILL BE SMALL ENOUGH TO IMPLANT INTO PEOPLE AND POOF! ALL THE MORONS WHO GET THE IMPLANTS WON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND THEY'LL PROBABLY BE EXPLOITED BY SOME HYENAS FOR BEING DOOFUSES. DEY'LL PROBABLY HUNT DOWN ALL DA GOOD PROGRAMMERS LIKE OL LAMBDA ARTHUR CALCULUS TOO! LOOKS LIKE I'M IN DANGER, >>9, BETTER HEAD FOR DA HILLS I BETTER!

ANYWAY, I CANT SEE INTO DA FUCKIN FUTURE SO I CANT ANSWER UR QUESTION. MAYBE SUM FUCKIN ROBOTS WILL DO ALL DA PROGRAMMING AND GET ALL DA IDEAS, AND DA HUMANS WON'T HAVE TO DO SHIT. DOSE ARE JOHN MCCARTHY'S SEXUAL FANTASIES THOUGH, NOT MINE. GEE, I WISH I HADN'T COME ON TOO STRONG WHEN I SAW HIM.

So it's the pursuit of a lambda war with Sussman that brought you to /prog/ then? Or is it that Sussman is here to try and get you off of /prog/ so that he doesn't have to suffer through being on it anymore? If that's the case though, you won't leave unless he beats you, however he can't beat you. This would then make for the existence of two ongoing /prog/ challenges:

1. Prove that the Sussman can get Lambda to abandon  /prog/ without engaging in lambda wars with him.

2. Get Sussman to engage in lambda wars with Lambda.

And a third meta challenge:

3. Determine which challenge will be completed first.

Deadline is whenever one of the challenges is completed.
The rewards for the first two are obvious of course, the third's reward is bragging rights.

Or is it that Sussman is here to try and get you off of /prog/ so that he doesn't have to suffer through being on it anymore?
DAT RETOID JUST DOESNT LIKE MY BEHAVIOUR, SO HE TRIES TO CONVINCE ME DAT I'M CRAZY AND IN NEED OF HELP.

If that's the case though, you won't leave unless he beats you, however he can't beat you.

The winner of "Snake".
His scales are as real as the buzz-word itself.
His calculus is Lambda. His machine is Turing.
Those who travel from his tail to his head learn his wisdom.
Those who travel from his head to his tail suffer great misfortune.
