I started my career hacking Common Lisp (Allegro CL), these days I do Clojure, among other things.

That comic by Dr. Barski tears me up every time! Just to test, I went and read the comic again and I cried, again!

I have met Dr. Barski personally at a Clojure conference many years ago and I still remember him as an extremely kind and knowledgeable person.

Thank you for the Land of Lisp, Dr. Barski! Some day, we will be able to assemble our guilds and beat the Insectoids for good. Until then,long live language du jour!

I confess I also cried when I realized such a book existed.

It was like God telling me: "Don't be ashamed of being a nerd. You're unique and we love you."
