Heh, it's not that bad. (Though it's just proof that I'm ignorant of
Computer Science (Which isn't, strictly speaking, true--I'm pretty sure
that Lisp & Friends weren't a part of the curriculum at UConn when I was
there) not the Worse is Better communities, especially since Jeremy's an
MIT alum)
Besides, the first sentence in the article is
