Hello,
My name is Patrick. I'm a college student who worked with the MIT Scheme
Interpreter in a Comparative Programming Languages course. I noticed the
interpreter would exit with latin phrases such as "Fortitudine vincimus." I
wanted to learn more about these phrases and their meaning but couldn't
find any reference to them in the user manual or online (only translations
of the phrase from other sources).I assume the "Fortitudine vincimus." is a
joke about the (alleged) tediousness of the Scheme programming language.

Does anyone know anything about the background for these messages? Were
they added in the original MIT Scheme interpreter or added later by the GNU
devs?

Thank you,
Patrick Heil
