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

@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”?
