As an aside: did he just say Franz Liszt was "famous-ish"?!
- narag 15y agoAny copy of the original anywhere? It's pasted in the top comment of the HN story: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3101876 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3101876 As an aside: did he just say Franz Liszt was "famous-ish"?!" His style seems to be hyperbole and tongue-in-cheek mostly. I wouldn't take it very seriously.
- lini 15y agoThe Liszt comparison is very timely - tomorrow is 200 years from his birthday :)
- defen 15y agoThe fact that you reacted that way indicates that he's not actually as famous as you'd like him to be. If he'd described George Washington as a "famous-ish" general, you'd know he was being sarcastic.
- keithpeter 15y agoI think this is e a cultural distance effect. I belong to a generation and live in a place where Liszt is part of the core. I recognise other places and generations may be different. Back on topic, I always used to smile when I saw the Lisp interpreter known as Franz Lisp load up. Pity they re-branded it.
