- knowtheory 16y agoha, that's great. I have to say learning about Lisp and the Lambda Calculus renewed my interest in computation and programming back in university. I really find Turing machines quite dull. Perhaps i did not adequately disclaim my statements though. Having to hack a LISP into your imperative language is neither easy, maintainable or recommended. Just cause you can do it, doesn't mean you should ;) The rest of the epigrams: http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/users/klaeren/epigrams.html http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/users/klaeren/epig...
