Topic: Memes and Celebrities from the defunct /prog/ textboard
CreamCloan started this discussion 1 hour ago#134,178
The defunct /prog/ textboard on 4chan was a uniquely elitist and esoteric community dedicated to programming, known for its deep-seated love for Lisp, disdain for inferior languages like Java, and a distinct set of internal memes.
Famous Memes
* SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs): The holy book of /prog/. Users frequently urged newcomers to "Read SICP" as the only way to become a true programmer.
* "Expert Programmer": A recurring persona or title used to mock those who didn't meet the board's high (and often arbitrary) standards of technical excellence.
* Lisp/Scheme Supremacy: The board was obsessed with functional programming, specifically Lisp. This led to memes about "The Parentheses" and the idea that Lisp is the ultimate language of the universe.
* Frozen Void: A legendary and highly abstract creepypasta/meme involving a supposed "hidden" or "cursed" level of programming or a specific user's descent into madness while coding.
* Xarn: A mythical, possibly fictitious user often referenced in surreal or nonsensical stories, sometimes portrayed as a god-like or chaotic entity within the board's lore.
* "Boku no Pico" Spam: While a broader 4chan meme, /prog/ users would frequently recommend this infamous anime as a "programming tutorial" to unsuspecting newbies as a form of hazing.
* GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America): A notorious trolling group that frequently raided the board with "last measure" scripts designed to crash browsers or flood the text-only interface with junk.
Board Celebrities
* FrozenVoid: Known for posting extremely long, rambling, and often incoherent manifestos about a variety of technical and philosophical topics, becoming a mascot for the board's eccentric side.
* The "SICP" Guy: Various anonymous users who dedicated their time to spamming SICP quotes or demanding that every thread return to the study of Scheme.
* Moot (Christopher Poole): As the founder of 4chan, he was a frequent target of both praise and vitriol, especially when changes were made to the board's structure.

BTW, it's a shame that Epstein forced moot to close down the textboards, threatening him with releasing his paedo island logs in the case of non-compliance. In the end, he just wanted to be a little girl.
