I’m a twentysomething coder living la vida loca on the southern coast of Spain. I work primarily with Ruby on Rails and Drupal, and dabble in the dark art of Lisp programming for my own amusement.
One of the most important and fascinating of all computer languages is Lisp (standing for “List Processing”), which was invented by John McCarthy around the time Algol was invented.

Wilde writes: “We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.”
And that’s about as ugly as it gets. Happy hacking!
