Not sure if you mean that positively, but considering your Java work, if meant positively, that is a huge compliment!

Oh, it certainly wasn't negative. I was doing Scheme long before I did Java, and I'm doing quite a bit of Clojure now, so I'm certainly a long-time Lisp fan.
As mentioned previously, I finished up some preliminary Java coursework. This was around the time our quasar and pulsar work took off in popularity.

I see you as a hero and hope for a 1/1000 of your productivity when I peak.

Glad to see you were a Schemer too.

I learned Scheme before I learned Java. Knowledge of lisp family languages makes me a far better Java programmer.
