I hope one day when I grow old I get to engage in fun pasttimes like what Rob did.

  Balance is important too. He won a Silver Medal for archery in the Olympics.

    ...using Lisp's parentheses as a bow. (Hint: look up 1980 Olympics)

      I hated you for doing this and myself more for actually falling down that rabbit hole. The explanation is here[1]. tldr: he is canadian and 1980 summer Olympics was boycotted by both canada and america. [1] https://wiki.c2.com/?RobPike https://wiki.c2.com/?RobPike

        My only memory is of the closing ceremony: a fleeting image of a bear mascot being carried across the stadium by balloons. I watched that on TV as a nine-year-old boy in Slovakia..

    I was impressed at first, but then I saw the David Letterman bit. An olympic medal is far more believable than a talk show host interested in a computer scientist.

  A few weeks ago, I went through "Make a Lisp" [1] using C#. It only took a few days to get to a pretty useful implementation. I "cheated" quite a bit using the existing C# implementation from the repo as a reference, but my end result looks pretty different. Learned a TON. Highly recommended.
