If it's Bill Nye, then I guess the idea was Smalltalk was a big research
project from PARC, so a scientific experiment in that sense?

Yep. Assimilation rules!

With the added fun of lazy evaluation and pure functional languages standign

It's not that erlang is munchkins, but the lollipop guild in particular.
I.e., the chorus-line of munchkins.

Ah yes... Should have looked more closely. :-)
For some reason, I have trouble getting my head around Erlang. I use Wings
3D a lot, and I've got a wishlist of about 20 or so features for it. From
time to time, I think, "Well, just get the source code and write 'em!" Then,
I get the language specs, look at the code, and my brain says, "No, go do
something else. I'm not doing this right now." Ah well... someday, perhaps.

That was actually my first programming experience, in high school. We had a
terminal in our school (as did four other schools) hooked to an IBM
something or other at the school admin office downtown. If you had your math
homework done in time, you could get on the computer and run a program (the
Baccarat game was popular). I was the sort of geek who always worked ahead,
so I got on the computer a lot. One day, I complained that the game was
"stupid" and "broke" (I was also a very obnoxious kid; I'm sure I've
outgrown that...). The teacher went to the filing cabinet, dropped the
Coursewriter manuals onto the desk in front of me, and said, "So... fix it."
That was in about 1976, and I don't think I've gone a day without coding
something or other since. :-D

Monads may let you borrow the future, but you MUST NOT come face to face
with your future self. Why, it could cause a temporal paradox that could
UNRAVEL THE VERY FABRIC OF THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM!
Alternatively, maybe the damage would be limited to only locking up one
CPU core until somebody sends a SIGKILL...

That has been clearly changed to French. I wonder where the original one
at that full resolution is.
But the full resolution version does convey the idea better.
