Also, people with 'no experience in the language', but with 'general programming experience' will be primed with the conventions of mainstream languages and biased against s-expressions.
(Btw, it's Jef Raskin.)
- derefr 16y agoBy "general programming experience," I didn't mean "mainstream programming experience," but rather "having been given a survey of techniques for programming in iterative, functional, OOP, declarative/constraint-based, concatenative, etc. languages, without having learned a single one." In other words, someone who was taught to program for the purposes of the test.
