I went to a multi-day Elm workshop a number of years ago, I had no experience with the language.
While I didn’t particularly enjoy the language and found the syntaxes implicit context tiring (I’d rather have a mountain of parens), the process opened my eyes to the value of immutability in a way months of LISP / Scheme in college never had.
- ravi-delia 4y agoI suppose something like SCIP doesn't place as much emphasis on mutation, but when I think of LISP the last thing I think of is immutability. Obviously Clojure pushes against that a little, but still, what is LISP without a slowly accumulated mudball of small state changes? That's what the magic is!
