[Expert]Interview with a Lambda[AMA]

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?

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.
