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.

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.

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.

#108Mzscheme 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.

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!
wtf was this?
