well, now we know why english isn't a programming language.   my article
was a slam on the most insipid, brain-dead language i've ever encountered.

i didn't say ADA or COBOL merely because i've never programmed in them.

i wouldn't wish LISP on anybody.  the reference to Abelson and Sussman
was a slam also.  the authors are obviously idiots who know nothing
of programming outside the ivory tower.
