Oh come on! We expect something better than that :P Your fans await!
Astonish them with fluid symbols proclaiming your triumph over the
Python and Ruby hordes that were at the gates. Tell them all about
your quest to the lands of Java where the coffee was tasty but the
people weren't.

What part of false modesty do you not understand? Besides, credit simply
goes to McCarthy, who simply Got It Right.
Paul Graham gets credit for a slight steepening of the curve.
I get credit for nothing, no one listens to me. cf. Cells.

Kenny, have you looked at those graphs? CLISP, ECL, SBCL ... if you
were to somehow get credit for their growth rates, wouldn't that be a
bit like the monkey's paw's answer to your asking for credit?

Not bad, not bad at all though it could be much better with audience
frenetically clapping, girls screaming & fans yelling "Kenny , Kenny"
at the Kodak Theatre. Don't forgeth the proper lighting & Anna
Kournikova as a presenter, she could take a brake from implementing
light weight processes in OpenMCL.
It's all about style Jimbo, all about style.

You say that as if it would be out of the ordinary compared to Kenny's
every day life.
