This is awesome, The organizers of RacketCon did a super wonderful job. And I am so surprised that even at this age these two gurus do not only remain extremely clear about the fundamental ideas of programming but that they are also so current about what ever is going on and also so lucid. It is really an honour to see such legends alive and well and still contributing great ideas.
Timeless! If the computer were to make an exception and allow Hal and Gerry to live forever, they would continue to contribute positively to our world ad infinitum.
I was also touched by the tribute they paid to Seymour Papert & Marvin Minsky. The world of programming, AI and computational thinking does indeed owe a whole lot to those two, not forgetting John MacCarthy too.
Partial list of favorite Wizard Books: Sri Aurobindo - The Life Divine (TLD) [Integral Yoga/Philosophy] Ken Wilber - Kosmic Consciousness or Sex Ecology Spirituality (SES) [Integral Philosophy] Aleister Crowley - Magick (Liber ABA) [Occultism] Abelson, Sussman - Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) [CS] Sri Aurobindo - Savitri [Integral Yoga/Poetry] Sri Ramakrishna - The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna [Bhakti Yoga (Love-Devotion)] The Mother (Mirra Alfassa) - Collected Works [Philosophy, Religion, Yoga] Tènzin Wangyal Rinpoché - The Tibetan Yogas Of Dream And Sleep [Tibetan Buddhism, Dream Yoga] this talk was brilliant and reveals much Blessings

1:05:20 So somebody _did_ invent the food-transfer protocol?
Oh no, it was just a paper roll, not a bread roll.
Reminds me of Thanksgiving in an US Gaol. That was a Food Transfer Protocol!
There's the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol.
Sussman sounds like he is going to buy a shrimp boat and play ping pong against the Chinese with Scheme. Glad to see him.
Lovely
I love that these dudes are talking about high level concepts and then a bunch of kids come in and teach them how to use a music box heh
