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

Got">https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Lisp... bored and ended up watching this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSq4wHrqyU&t=2360s.">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">
Gotten to video 5A in SICP and variable assignment just got introduced.

Variable assignments. After 8hrs of Lisp https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž" title="Mann schlĂ€gt sich die Hand vors Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mann schlĂ€gt sich die Hand vors Gesicht"> Could never be procedural programming.

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...
