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!"
