I learned lisp for probably a good 60 minutes (!) and it’s an eye opener for JS. A lot more JS idioms make sense now. Well worth doing if your a JS slinger.

- kccqzy 7y agoI did it the other way around. I wrote some JS before I really learned about JS idioms and a lot of my earlier code looked weird. Like the way I construct an object is to write a function (constructor) that does initialization and then returns an object full of closures, instead of assigning a function to Foo.prototype.bar etc.
- bjoli 7y agoI had a very nice experience when trying rust with a couple of friends. I just wrote rust much like I would write scheme and, after using immutable.rs, I wrote pretty efficient code without actually fighting the borrow checker at all. My friends, coming from hopelessly mutable languages like python, could hardly get any work done at all. This was back in late 2017, and things might have gotten better since.
