[plt-scheme] No More Boring Code

Reading and writing Java is, by and large, boring. Boring code is  
boring to write, and genuinely difficult to read without glossing over  
details. This is an observation made by Yaron Minsky at his Cam(e)l  
Trading talk at CMU.  This resonated strongly for me, and got pretty  
close to the root of what I think functional languages are about:  
providing the abstraction tools to obviate the need for Boring Code.

Hence, the Anti-Boring Code League.

I plan to make T-Shirts.

Anyone feel like improving the logo?

John
