Character Sketches
Lisp
The ancient architect whose blueprints everyone copies but nobody credits. Lisp invented garbage collection, conditionals, recursion, and the very concept of code-as-data in 1958, then watched sixty years of languages reinvent its ideas with different syntax.
Haskell
The beautifully dressed philosopher who can't find their car keys. Haskell writes the most elegant code in any language, then spends 45 minutes explaining why IO is actually a monad.
