Julia Ecklar's recording of "The Eternal Flame," a filk song about God writing the universe in Lisp, written by Bob Kanefsky. It is a geek-humor song set to a familiar tune.
HN mostly references it as Lisp-culture humor and a nod to Kanefsky's song.

APL predates the first documented thoughts I used to think that Lisp was bad, with its "God coded the universe in Lisp", then I read only the first part of your sentence, and was "Woha, so APL predates thought?!" ▶ this video
The Lisp programming community represent the artistic pinnacle of the computing world. Not only do they produce art like this which really gives Pixar a run for their money, but behold the creative majesty of "The Land of Lisp": link This REALLY shows how the Lisp community can put the psychedelic giants of the late 60's to shame. Or consider Julia Ecklar's quintessential "The Eternal Flame": ▶ this video Susanna Hoffs ain't got nothing on this one. It's no surprise that this incredible programming language has taken the world by storm, become an Enterprise programming juggernaut, dominating both the technical and creative landscapes all at the same time.
There's an interesting song based on the moral conflict faced by the three aliens in "The Gods Themselves", by Bob Kanefsky, and sung by Julia Ecklar: [1]. Kanefsky may be familiar to many HN readers for his song "Eternal Flame", about the superiority of Lisp to other languages, also sung by Julia Ecklar [2]. [1] link [2] ▶ this video
