Never a noob, were you? Never considered that the source code primacy to convey the programmer's intent and that a modified lump of sand can do something with it is a nice side effect?
- taeric 9y agoI was certainly a new programmer once. I don't remember this one catching me offguard anymore than most other things. Lambda, in particular, was much more to wrap my head around. Or defun. Even define is somewhat awkward. So, sure, first is more descriptive than car. However, first also should have applied to an array. And it does, just not in the same way. Which is itself confusing.
