ever since watching sussman's talk http://www.infoq.com/presentations/We-Really-Dont-Know-How-To-Compute http://www.infoq.com/presentations/We-Really-Dont-Know-How-T... i've been curious to see these details. really good post. the jibe about, "our competitors," at the end of the preface left a bad taste in my mouth, though. i'd really like to think that was tongue-in-cheek and people as tenured as these guys, if anyone, can afford to think of math and science as the collaborative effort that it is rather than a competition.
