nigger

A computer scientist nigger admires anything complicated... the more
complicated, the more in awe he is. A physicist admires simple things.

If you make a really shitty operating system that is really complicated or a
fucked up compiler... all the niggers will stand in awe.

Javascript was described as "we want to do lisp in the browser" to get its designer interested, if I remember that interview correctly... – Izkata

@Izkata: Indeed, Waldemar Horwat once told me that he viewed JavaScript as essentially Common Lisp with a C-like syntax. In fact Waldemar defined a metalanguage, wrote an interprepter for his metalanguage in Common Lisp, and then wrote the JavaScript spec in his metalanguage, thereby enabling him to actually run the specification. It was a clever technique. – Eric Lippert
