Time to rewrite the site in Blub?
Paul Graham is so good, Arc is Blub for him. Paul Graham is so good, he does just simply walk into Mordor. And then he checks into a hotel.

John McCarthy sent his son Paul Graham to save the world from Blub.
(I am agnostic. I googled for this biblical verse... uncannily, it is from the book of John.)

Paul Graham can solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time.
NP-complete problems are for sissies. Paul Graham can solve any problem in the Arithmetic Hierarchy in O(1).
Matematicians searching for P=NP or P!=NP proof should wait until Paul Graham decides which of these statements is true.

Except that + takes two arguments, not three--unless you've altered the definition.
Ok, here's a better one: Chuck Norris wanted to be like Paul Graham, and tried to learn tail recursion. The best he could do was a roundhouse kick.
Aw cummon! I thought this was the ultimate cap - tail recursion? roundhouse kick? Chuck Norris? haha?

Pretty sure he must be laughing itself out right now reading it. PG, you're a hero for many people, you know? How about you giving your own contribution to this list? By the way, I just noticed that there is no way to recover a password if you lost it?
Paul Graham is so good, he's written 735 contributions to this list but hasn't even been tempted to send them.

If more people used LISP runtime systems, then the bugs would be found more readily. Thus leading to fewer defections from LISP to Blubs.
Not necessarily -- some organizations would patch it themselves in a private branch just to maintain an edge, assuming they have the expertise in-house. I've done this before with GPLed libraries. That's assuming you can even track down the problem -- Vendetta Online couldn't pin it down well enough to submit a coherent bug report (in fairness, SBCL is a monstrosity; just as a comparison, how many Rails developers co…

Probably a lot of them, if they tried. Because Ruby is so poorly specified, I frequently read the interpreter source code to figure out how things are supposed to behave. CRuby is really well-written in some ways and really poorly-written in others. It's poorly written in the sense that it's a painfully slow line-by-line interpreter. It's well written in the sense that the code is very clean and well-organized: I can usually find answers in the source faster than I can find answers in the pick-axe book.

Paul Graham can compress ANY data by at least 1 bit, including binary 1.
I have a very reliable lossy compression algorithm for you if interested. It's extremely computationally scalable as well.
I just map all values to 0.

My impression is most Rails developers are not C programmers.
