Is this a good resource to beat the fear of recursion out of me? I get recursion, but it’s still really uncomfortable to think about.

- PeCaN 8y agolearn Haskell or OCaml or something alternatively just write more code because tbh that sounds like you just started programming
- renox 8y agoI find this dismissive comment funny: I started programming a long time ago in BASIC then assembly then Pascal then C and I still don't like recursion. I remember having to fix a bug in a recursive code that I didn't write: my feeling is that it is more difficult to debug recursive code than normal code.
- panzerklein 8y agoJust read The Little Schemer - the best book on recursion.
- chuchana 8y agoI liked Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation. You can find its first edition online (free of charge): https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/ https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/ Apart from explanations, it also contains exercises and their solutions.
