Summary
In this interview, the speaker discusses the pros and cons of Lisp and Simula, citing Lisp's excessive use of parentheses as a downside, while also acknowledging its interesting language structure. Simula, on the other hand, was one of the first object-oriented programming languages and introduced the concept of coroutines and parallelism to programming.

Simula 67, the first Simula specification was developed in 1967 with coroutines which are almost threads, and didn't require complex locking, but couldn't be done on multicore machines since you couldn't use multiple cores without getting into the universe of semaphores and locks.
