I'm imagining Don LaFontaine's[*] voice, saying something like (first
draft):
"In a world... where programming languages suffer from fixed syntaxes,
gratuitous mutation, and arbitrary abstraction ceilings... one language
alone has the courage to take a stand, refusing to accept the
boilerplate, bugs, and blatant backwardness of lesser languages. This
summer, those languages will have nowhere to hide. Here comes... PLT
Scheme!"
