I've decided to take the red pill and learn a Lisp.

Starting with Clojure, based on this thread that pushed me to take the leap.

If pg's essays were the old testament, @Conaw is the new gospel https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1301053909339758593?s=20

Just had a very eerie moment.

I've been working through function examples from the Clojure website. I got stuck on the syntax for a specific problem and decided to ask GPT-3.

It solved it immediately, with perfect syntax.

Remind me why I'm bothering to learn again?

Okay, existential doubt aside, I'm going to use this thread to keep a running train of thought about the process of learning Clojure.

My experience: fluent in Python, intermediate in MATLAB (ha!), and beginner in Javascript, C++ (mostly from Arduino)
