> Certain people find certain metaphors and modes of computing much easier to work with than others. Absolutely. I took a couple of Lisp classes in my computer science program, and I saw this almost instantly. Some people who had a very hard time catching up in most other languages suddenly shined. However, some students who were otherwise very successful, had a harder time with functional languages. I always wondered how this worked. Is it that we're just wired differently? > ...concludes the weird scissor advocates are mad. I just wanted to clarify I don't think this. I appreciate when people are passionate about something like Lisp. At least, I'm happy for them!
