+1 nice summary! I have been using Common Lisp since the early 1980s and I also love the language. For my own Lisp hacking pleasure, I add a few Schemes to the mix, but that is often a (fun) distraction for me, and I would be better off sticking with CL (or Python for deep learning projects).
Do you have a blog where you share your learning experiences?
- corinroyal 3y agoOMG! This is what I'm talking about with Common Lisp. One minute you're a washed-up slacker, the next Mark L. Watson speaks to you. I'm winding my way through "Loving Common Lisp, or the Savvy Programmer's Secret Weapon" as we speak and loving it. Thank you! I don't have a blog and haven't gotten far enough in my learning to make anything useful, but I do plan to produce a newbie's guide to help people get started quickly. My perspective as an older person for whom CL is my first language could be valuable since my sticking points are different and I don't yet have bad habits to break.
