   BTW, Jeff Atwood is crowd-sourcing rewrites of these games in various modern languages. I've done a couple of Ruby versions and it's an excuse for a fun little hack.

     Also: Atwood has said in a number of issue threads that the point of this is to be an aid to new programmers so he's going with common, accessible languages.

     That being said, there's nothing stopping you from forking the repo and adding APL, J, K, Scheme, and Haskell to it.

     @suetanvil @ne1for23 There is a distinct lack of Lisp and APL here.
