   LISP sucks too ... all those damned levels of parenthesis ...
   nobody but dedicated freaks can keep it straight. 

   As far as I'm concerned, FORTH and Lisp were designed
   explicitly to EXCLUDE all but a self-described elite
   from AI issues. 

   FORTH is ridiculous ... a left-over from the days when
   memory cost about a dollar per byte. Nobody thinks in
   stacks, nobody sane would WANT to organize programs
   that way unless they HAD TO. Well, nowdays, you don't
   HAVE to. Hell, I would rather program in assembler
   than in FORTH (and do) ....
