Abelson-Sussman lectures
This (and the accompanying textbook) is much more interesting than what they’re teaching me, and it’s over twenty years old.
Two things bother me, though: Sussman’s body language has far too much in common with George W. Bush’s, and Abelson’s hair is bizarre and makes him look like a nuclear fallout accident victim. Which might actually be appropriate, given that they’re dealing with lambda calculus, ho ho.
Anyway, they look very typically ’80s-alpha-nerd-like.
(This and this is what they look like now.)
But yeah, watch that if you want to know about Lisp and lambda calculus and whatnot. I’ve seen the first four so far (1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b), because Telenet has a monthly download limit which is made of suck and fail. 15 GB in my case, but apparently our “regular use” amounts to about 10 GB per month. So yeah.

No, no one got that.
