“Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer.” — Alan Perlis

In English every word can be verbed. Would that it were so in our programming languages.

Every program has two purposes: The one for which it was written and another for which it wasn't.

Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

LISP programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing.
