Great. I don't know much about Haskell, but Scheme is a great language for startups. Start your own and apply to YC! What are you using for learning Scheme?

Great. I don't know much about Haskell, but Scheme is a great language for startups. Start your own and apply to YC! What are you using for learning Scheme? I recommend this one: http://herdrick.blogspot.com/2006/03/what-all-books-ought-to-be.html http://herdrick.blogspot.com/2006/03/what-all-books-ought-to... After that, take a look at the Scheme Cookbook for specific tasks. http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/ http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/

I am going through SICP. I planned to look at the Little Schemer afterwards. The cookbook link will be very helpful- thanks.

  I followed the same route and I kinda regret it. The Little Schemer is best read with a Lisp-virgin mind. If you intend to read it at all, do it before SICP. Then again, if you don't want to wait for SICP I fully understand you too.

    OK, I am buying the Little Schemer today

      I forgot to say above that the sequel, The Seasoned Schemer, is really great, too. It's got some challenging parts though.
