Lisp is such and open mental playground when it comes to programming.
Vs the languages which consist of the exact same ideas with a slightly different syntax.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoIt's on my bucket list along with smalltalk. Ive done some sicp and it's definitely mind opening. Right now I'm on a different route that I think is much more harder. Haskell, type checking, category theory, Idris and dependent typing.
- BoiledCabbage 7y agoI went that route, and found it less bang for the buck. Still interesting, but a lot of learn, but it took significantly more effort to see any type of reward. And the total reward is definitely less than that of lisp (from what I encountered).
