#2Is it just me or do grammatically incorrect prominently placed titles annoy others as well? (I think Lisp rocks, of course, so I don't have an issue with the content)
Re: All Your Parentheses Are Belong to Us
#3Man, I really need to get around to learning Lisp. (Of course I've been telling myself for a few years now.)
Admittedly, as someone who's only ever used C, C++, C# and Java, Lisp seems so alien that I have a hard time understanding how anyone can do any non-trivial work in it. Then I look at all the awesome stuff that's been done in it and how many people are obsessed with it and, well, I definitely need to check it out at SOME point.

The point being that grammatical incorrectness is less annoying if it creates a snowclone.

#6I'm a huge Scheme fan, and I still think Lisp people are overly smug.

#8Kenny hinted that he will stop posting to c.l.l. (or at least cut down on his post frequency) now that he is blogging. If that is true, then "Weeny" just became my absolute favorite blog of all time ;-)

Just because you mentioned it, check out this primer: http://mypage.iu.edu/~colallen/lp/lp.html
Half way through the first chapter (about 11 pages, which is really shorter than a single nytimes article) it says something on the lines with "you have now a turing complete language at your disposal." At that point you can kind of extrapolate the myriad of possibilities available with the paradigm.

Thanks! I'll definitely check this out. Looks like a great starting resource.
