Fluff. A paragraph stringing together two twitter comments and a few links.

I wrote the blog post just to expand a bit on the reply I gave on twitter because of the excerpt from "The Roots of Lisp". I never really expected to see on the HackerNews first page.

No worries, it just seemed short for the HN front-page.

Have you read Lisp in Small Pieces, btw?

Not yet, but it is in my wishlist :)
