Google TechTalksMay 10, 2006Peter SeibelABSTRACTIn the late 1920's linguists Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf hypothesized that the thoughts we can think are largely determined by the language we speak. In his essay "Beating the Averages" Paul Graham echoed this notion and invented a hypothetical language, Blub, to explain why it is so hard for programmers to appreciate programming language features that aren't present in their own favorite language. Does the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis hold for computer languages? Can you be a great software architect if you only speak Blub? Doesn't Turing equivalence imply that language choice is just another implementation detail? Yes, no, and no says Peter...

Have fun trolling the Google tech talk videos you worthless sack of crap. Judging from our respective video feedback, I would say that my "superiority complex" (yeah right) is completely overshadowed by your raging stupidity.Oh, and i am definitely not a little girl. That would be your overactive imagination and sick fantasy life. Go away.
horneyvirus (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
i flamed you because you have a superiority complex. now stfu and go back to myspace little girl.

Yeah, i use it to post videos about the robots i build and music i write. I have a degree in music and use Lisp to write generative music. I like to share my work with friends and family. Myspace is pretty user friendly for non-techies so its a good forum to do that. I don't check it much and certainly wouldn't consider myself embedded in the "myspace community".You are pretty lame to be looking me up on myspace just to flame me. At least i do something i care about and put it out there.

dude.. you have a myspace page.. kill yourself before you procreate.
horneyvirus (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Because you get 72 virgins for killing yourself.

So right at the end, he was about to tell us why Lisp is not the most popular language ... and the video cut off. Ahhh!OK not because of any inherent s/w insufficiency, then it must be sociological?Siebel may not be the easiest speaker to listen to, but the topics of multiple dispatch, condition handlers and macros are worth considering. A taste of lisp power.Perhaps the issue is where he touched on Lisp being maleable. We can do great things with it, and unconstructive things too ...
horneyvirus (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
yeah but i didn't learn jackshit about lisp. and this video has nothing to do with lisp. this shit isn't even tangential to lisp.

Its not stupid- Its an intelligent comparison between linguistics an modern coding languages. This guy is considered an expert in the List processing language community.As for my name, do a search for "simian" on wikipedia and learn something.... this coming from a guy who looks like his keyboard took a dump in the name field of his user info.Xoalilshaax3? i cant even pronounce that. Seriously..stop being a youtube flamer. Dont do drugs.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
