  • The Creature from the Pit. It was the first full Doctor Who story I ever watched. I was probably 8 or 9 and they used to broadcast on the local PBS station after 10PM on Saturdays. It’s not a great story or episode. But the charm and camp of “green garbage bags” monster had me hooked.

    It’s missing a lot of things that people really care about (with good reason) like static typing. But I think a lot of dislike also comes from it being more of a functional programming language and not object oriented. I like it because it’s like scheme or lisp but with a C like syntax that I find easier to read. I also like that I can do dynamic stuff with websites. In some ways it’s the perfect scripting language for the web. Just as messy and unpredictable as html.
