Serial experiments lain is my favorite anime of all time. I'm shocked at hoe obscure it continues to be, even in hacker circles. I figured that coding in lisp is all she needed for the show to become a cult classic - but here we are...

        Please elaborate on your statement. That is, who is my leader and why did she delete herself? update: I am flagged. Someone informed me this is due to the numbers in my name. I was 14 years old when I first watched Lain and I was born in 1988. This number apparently has an association that is less than positive. Dear mods: feel free to change it to something else, I simply wanted to inform this user that I did not want them to link our website. Thank you and have a nice day. Remember: It is rude to issue statements of self harm and that those afflicted with mental health problems may be in even the most unexpected of areas. Please be mindful of your words.

        I don't know what battle you're fighting or thought you were fighting with this, but it is aggressive and egregiously against the site guidelines. We do not want HN to be a place which is hostile to newcomers. People here need to err on the side of assuming good faith, just as the guidelines ask. We've also had to ask you many times in the past not to break the site guidelines. That's not cool. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on.

I remember watching it and wondering what that code language on the screen was. Alan Kay's classification of modern state of computing as pop culture continues to ring true. I would have benefited greatly to be exposed to Lisp early on, but it was outside of the info-bubble I was in.
