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.

Paul Graham can write an essay entirely composed of sweeping generalizations.

Paul Graham is so good, his keyboard only has three keys: 0, 1 and Return. No Backspace, because he doesn't make mistakes.

Anything but the Church Numerals is below him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_numeral

This seems to be a recurring theme with Lisp implementations. Reddit switched from CMUCL to Python (threading); Vendetta Online switched from SBCL to Erlang (GC/memory leaks). Other people have hit major snags e.g. with Haskell/GHC runtime bugs (Wager Labs; switched to Erlang). Use a massively complex runtime, hit bugs that can't be fixed (in a start-up timeframe, anyhow)?

No, turns out the system was just running out of memory.

I hate it when facts don't agree with my theories.

Paul Graham is so good, the parenthesis match themselves. Paul Graham is so good, it's hard to defun him.

Paul Graham is so good, he does not recurse. He uses the y combinator - in Continuation Passing Style - with both hands tied behind his back.

What's so bad about the y combinator?

Mzscheme is core dumping. We may have discovered some new bug. Rtm is investigating.

Source? With the bashing Python is getting because of the GIL, it surprises me that someone would switch to Python from elsewhere for any reasons related to threading.

When Paul Graham goes to the cafeteria for lunch, he doesn't sit at a table. All the tables sit at Paul Graham.

Paul_Graham(R), the well-known Registered Trademark, has finally found how not to die, and integrated and evaluater for this into his brain/organism. So there's really hope for Arc to be finished in his life time, now!
