如果说,C是最靠近计算机是如何工作的语言模型,Lisp就是最能反映计算(注意,这里没有了“机”字,计算机和计算是很不同的!译者注)是如何工作的模 型。你不需要懂很多Lisp,真的。紧咬Scheme就哦了,因为它是最简单最干净的。其他的Lisp已经发展成了很大,很复杂(很好很强大? 译者:-)的编程环境,就像C++和Java,要有很多库啊,工具啊等等之类。那些,你不需要知道。但是你应该能用Scheme写程序。如果你能够做出 The Little Schemer和The Seasoned Schemer这两本书里的所有习题,你懂得就够多了,我认为。
What's the frost thing, you ask? Well, I used to have a lot of exceptionally mean stuff written here, but since Python's actually quite pleasant to work with (if you can overlook its warts), I no longer think it's such a great idea to bash on Pythonistas。The "frost thing" is just that they used to have a tendency to be a bit, well, frosty。Why?
Because they were so tired of hearing about the whitespace thing!
I think that's why Python never reached Perl's level of popularity, but maybe I'm just imagining things。

That was the ADJ article I really wanted to write。Or at least something like it。For some reason, though, my true feelings only seem to come out during insomniac attacks between 3am and 6am。Time for bed!2 hours 'til my next meeting。
