I remember Erik Naggum. He was always worth reading, but yeah—incredibly abrasive.

  He was so often frustratingly right, too.

    I particularly remember an extended rant that Lisp == Common Lisp, and Scheme is not Common Lisp, and therefore Scheme is not Lisp. I’m oversimplifying—Erik gave specific reasons—but that’s what it amounted to. Derailed an entire conversation, IIRC.

      I think I remember that one, it was something about a Lisp being a Lisp-2 by definition. I shook my head in disagreement at the time, and still do.

        Heh. Yeah, that was part of it.

      That's one thing where he was right.
