So now we know Russell's favorite programing language. And we can
expect Karl to shortly post an email stating why Scheme is a better
choice.
What I want to know is which text editor would run best if written

(You know, if I truly hated humanity, I'd write a version of edlin in
Intercal. And use the comments from a program like sendmail. Translated
into Old Irish.)
