Imagine the kind of conversation you would have with someone so far away that there was a transmission delay of one minute. Now imagine speaking to someone in the next room. You wouldn't just have the same conversation faster, you would have a different kind of conversation. In Lisp, developing software is like speaking face-to-face. You can test code as you're writing it. And instant turnaround has just as dramatic an effect on development as it does on conversation. You don't just write the same program faster; you write a different kind of program.
Per dimostrare la prima tesi [...] il dottore ricorre a un procedimento che dobbiamo chiamare sofistico, per non mettere in dubbio la sua intelligenza; ingenuo, per non dubitare della sua probità.
