The Lisp Love Affair and Cosmic Curiosities

This chapter explores a passionate defense of Lisp as a programming language and its profound influence on the speakers' coding philosophy. It humorously considers the implications of choosing other languages while weaving in discussions about the future of technology, job security, and even extraterrestrial intelligence.
