>The most powerful programming language is Lisp. If you don't know Lisp (or its variant, Scheme), you don't know what it means for a programming language to be powerful and elegant. Once you learn Lisp, you will see what is lacking in most other languages.

as with everything else, he is 100% correct

No he's a fat fuck.

Too bad he did nothing to help the language and instead implemented a half-assed version of his own that is used nowhere else except for a text editor and serves only to further divide the community and give people a bad taste of what Lisp languages can be.
Yes he's right, but the dumbass, being a lisp hacker, made a whole unix clone with C, bringing his lisp culture to C and thus obfuscating his C beyond any hope of readability, just furthering the dominance of unix on the OS domain (further burying lisp), and ultimately making a shitty duplicate of unix tools that don't follow it's KISS principle.
