Rice CS alumnus Jacob Matthews
brings a little lambda to Kuro5hin: Why I Like
PLT Scheme. “When I tell programmers that my favorite programming
language is Scheme, they tend to react as though I’d told them my
favorite snack were packing styrofoam […] at nearly every stage of the
process Scheme gave me the ability to say what I meant, or failing that
gave me the tools to let me build a way to say what I meant. Using that
feature I could make the language do things my way rather than it making
me do things its way.” (curried from λΩ)
