Man, I really need to get around to learning Lisp. (Of course I've been telling myself for a few years now.)
Admittedly, as someone who's only ever used C, C++, C# and Java, Lisp seems so alien that I have a hard time understanding how anyone can do any non-trivial work in it. Then I look at all the awesome stuff that's been done in it and how many people are obsessed with it and, well, I definitely need to check it out at SOME point.
- whacked_new 19y agoJust because you mentioned it, check out this primer: http://mypage.iu.edu/~colallen/lp/lp.html http://mypage.iu.edu/~colallen/lp/lp.html Half way through the first chapter (about 11 pages, which is really shorter than a single nytimes article) it says something on the lines with "you have now a turing complete language at your disposal." At that point you can kind of extrapolate the myriad of possibilities available with the paradigm.
- TheTarquin 19y agoThanks! I'll definitely check this out. Looks like a great starting resource.
