God, The Scsh reference manual has my favorite acknowledgements section in all of media. I urge all of you to read this.

I'm proud to be able to call myself a FOO (Friend of Olin.) Not only is he a fine human being, but if you talk to him for 20 minutes you'll learn a couple of years worth of computer science.
I'm jealous! He was my first year computer science teacher, probably the person who most instilled love for functional programming in me. I still at some point want to go back to take a compilers class with him someday. Until then, while you are a FOO I'll be at the BAR :p
If that were written today there’d be hardcore consequences.
Olin Shivers was by far the best professor I had in college. Amazing communicator complemented by a great sense of humor
