@neauoire Thank you! It's reassuring to know that SICP is approachable, feels a bit daunting at first glance.

@gosha @neauoire I also found SICP to be a bit daunting at first, mostly due to all the mathematically-themed problems (MIT students, eh?). The recorded lectures from 1986 helped me get through some of the material. They're available on MIT's OpenCourseWare. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/video_galleries/video-lectures/ |
@gosha @neauoire I find the later half of SICP gets a little in the math weeds for my very practically oriented engineer brain (says the person with a degree in algebras, but we all make mistakes when young!).
Alternatively I find little scheme an absolute joy of a puzzle, but also not super practical.
Is there a good lisp book that’s more like “how to design computer programs”?
