[lbo-talk] Another computer great passes: John McCarthy RIP

[SK]

So much programming talk.  I can't get that excited about the
differences between  most languages.  I use
Python for most things, Java still for a bigger projects, because iI like
the security of static typing when things get complicated, and there
are great debugging environments for Java.  There is something
quite beautiful about functional programming, though.  However,
I just wanted to mention that, if I remember right, in the index for
Steele's Common Lisp, if you look up "kludges" in the index,
it lists pp. 1-971, or something like that.
