It's time to find out once and for all which dialect of Lisp has the higher coolness quotient.


For those that have no idea what I'm talking about:
Common Lisp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp)
Scheme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_programming_language)

Understand now? No?
Damn. Oh well...

Scheme is by far the best. it just sounds eviller. Even though they're both programming languages... I'd rather be scheming than lisping.
see?

Sorry, I only do basic web programming and I haven't been long at it.

This gives me an idea!
We need more evil people with lisps. They can be driven over the edge in childhood by being teased about their lisp, or their lisp might be the prouct of secret government experiments to increase brain functioning, or something like that. It's the perfect plot device!

Reminds of the song by Julia Ecklar... would have to look up the title, but I am too lazy now. Its lyrics include the line "God wrote in LISP code". It's really funny... Yah, well, should go to bed.
