full thread is somewhat more interesting than one guy's bitchy smackdown. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/1d014c846acaadc8

  It might be worth noting that "one guy" is the designer and implementer of Clojure.

  um, no it isn't. And that one guy happens to be the guy who invented clojure. Rich Hickey does often seem a bit testy at times, but I think it's because he is a bit of a visionary and it is tiring always having to drag along people that don't quite get it.

    If you follow CLL, Rich and Pascal have had a back and forth on the newsgroup on more than this occasion.

      That actually makes a lot of sense, in context; I was wondering why/how Rich had enough time to pore over some random guy's implementation of ants, not knowing much about Pascal (until this HN thread). I think if people ignorant to his own accomplishments, it's because many F/OSS project mailing lists or IRC channels see messages from someone new to the project claiming a more naïve version of Pascal's email every few months (or weeks).
