I don't understand why Lisp throws you off. I only read SICP after I became proficient in Haskell and it is just fine.

- alabhyajindal 2y agoI'm not comfortable writing S-expressions. It feels very weird to me. I understand this is not a major issue. I'm hoping I stick with the book the next time I pick it up!
- kccqzy 2y agoYou should try out structured editing. For example paredit in emacs. And you really only need to understand slurp and barf. It really makes writing S-expressions no longer a chore. No more need to manually count parentheses. The parentheses are balanced by construction.
