That was a gripping talk. And this is coming from someone who didn't understand it. I had a feeling Gerald Sussman was going to be a charismatic speaker from reading 'The Little Schemer', and here he certainly is.

Sadly, Lisp inventor and AI pioneer John McCarthy passed away just recently
-
Gerry wrote The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (and scheme) not The Little Schemer (Fellesisen & Friedman).
-
Sussman wrote the foreword for the Little Schemer.

Yes, it's sad. Just two weeks after Dennis Ritchie.
