Doggerel

Scheme seems to inspire more than its fair share of doggerel. Like many Scheme programs themselves, these works are brief but passionate. They are also, unlike so many pieces that involve C or Unix or networks, upbeat and positive; don't come here to find laments about core dumps. Here are some examples:

1. Shriram Krishnamurthi wrote (Imagine) to celebrate Scheme's twentieth birthday.
2. John Carolan expressed his emotions on encountering Scheme in verse.
3. Jeremy Buhler contributed this bit for the Seasonal Lisp Machine.

Of Machines and Monsters

The folks at Helsinki University of Technology have created a Schememonster to follow Alan Perlis's exhortation to ``keep fun in computing''.

Oh yeah, did we mention the Seasonal Lisp Machine?
