Taking a _shallow tip-toe_ into FP.
Started out reading this: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/book.pdf.

Started putting some learning code into a repo: https://github.com/chidiwilliams/learning-common-lisp">https://github.com/chidiwill...
I& #39;m considering reimplementing some of my older projects in CommonLisp as practice. Maybe this one from 2 years ago: https://github.com/chidiwilliams/datacomm-lab">https://github.com/chidiwill...
I& #39;ll probably do a better/longer review of the course much later, but "MIT 6.001 Structure and Interpretation, 1986" has been engrossing and helpful.

Biggest limitation so far, by far, has been learning and using Emacs.
Now using Emacs cheat sheet as my desktop background, because everything else isn& #39;t working

Gotten to video 5A in SICP and variable assignment just got introduced.
Variable assignments. After 8hrs of Lisp

Anyway, pretty cool learning how assignments "stop" time, etc. Didn& #39;t know that before.

(A bit off the current flow of this thread but in line with the general theme...) I understand monads a bit better now thanks to this thread: https://twitter.com/getify/status/1283113652724391937">https://twitter.com/getify/st...
*Emphasis on a bit.
