It is possible, and I really really really hope true, that Alaric meant
Programming Language Theory, and not PLT scheme.  This usage is not
uncommon on, say, LtU.  I once brought up this unfortunate naming
coincidence to a PLT scheme dev, however, and was surprised by the
ensuing denial of any usage of PLT to mean Programming Language Theory.

OTOH, it's also possible that Alaric meant Past Life Therapist, or Lead
Lanthanum Titanate.[1]
