He admits it in this video, starting at 00:34:46: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB5TrK7A4pI
He also thinks software is not bloated enough.
Now that The Sussman hates Scheme, I can finally come out of the closet - I am not fan of Scheme myself. There, I said it.
Blasphemous.

Now we can all agree that C > Lisp
C is still around only because it can't be garbage collected.
Sus😳
Someone tell the Sussman that you can give names to the "connections" in Scheme:
(define (heron-step x g)
(let* ((x/g (/ x g))
(x/g+g (+ g x/g))
(two 2))
(/ x/g+g two)))Or even like this, using SRFI-8:
(define (heron-step x g)
(receive (x/g) (/ x g)
(receive (x/g+g) (+ g x/g)
(/ x/g+g 2))))>>5
Because only garbage gets collected

Exactly! Lispers produce garbage like there's no tomorrow. They should learn to produce less garbage.
Save the environment by using C instead of Lisp.

C programmers love the garbage they explicitly create so much they don't have it in them to collect it manually, because the secret dream of every C programmer is being a janitor. If only they would put some of that love into making sure their buffers are safe from overflows, the world could be a better place...

What do Marisa Kirisame and C programs have in common? You have to kill them to get back what they borrowed.

I love them both!
