ROTFL! Lots of Irritating, Superfluous Parentheses!


One of the programmers at work died and his widow sold off his books. I
bought 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs' among others
and worked my way through it one winter. While I didn't have a problem
grasping the concepts of Scheme my mind kept asking why anyone would do
something in such an ass-backwards way. Coming from someone who once was
fairly proficient at FORTH, that's something.
