There's a quote I love from the book "The Idea Factory: Learning to Think at MIT":
Freshman double E's take six double oh one (a.k.a. six double no fun) to learn to program in LISP... This is also where they begin to leave the rest of the world behind them in their ability solve problems and make things work.
He goes on to describe how the course instills the virtues and limits of abstraction.

- ehudla 10y agoThe MIT book? No, it's just a fun book about MIT culture, the analysis doesn't run very deep IIRC.
