For many years I recommended everyone on my team (that was interested in retooling their brain in a more functional way) read "The Little Schemer". My only caveat is that they read it without touching a computer. Like... read it on an airplane. While I had no interest in using Scheme/Racket/Lisp for actual work, I found that it brought so much simplicity to my thinking.
- Lio 4y agoCame here to say the same thing. The other books in the series are pretty good too. E.g. The Little Prover https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262527958/the-little-prover/ https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262527958/the-little-prover/ and The Little Typer https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262536431/the-little-typer/ https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262536431/the-little-typer/
- nobleach 4y agoI've always wanted to look into these other books! (I even purchased The Reasoned Schemer - but failed to start reading it). Someday... probably when I retire.
