- all2 4y agoThe Little Schemer is probably this.
- ripley12 4y agoHmm, I don't think so. This book is about dependent types, The Little Schemer is more about introducing Lisp/Scheme fundamentals. FWIW I found The Little Schemer remarkably devoid of essential context; I found myself wondering "that's interesting, but why is it important?" far too often.
- all2 4y agoI've run into something similar going through these books. For me to be successful in going through these and understanding the importance of each piece, I think I'd need a project per-chapter to help me gel what I've learned.
- deltasevennine 4y agoYeah I read this, scheme doesn't involve types.
- mcguire 4y agoFor dependent types? I'm really fond of Type Driven Development With Idris.
