APL "A Programming Language," a powerful tool of thought coding using symbolic notation molded my thinking and set the framework for my software career in so many ways. It has its own keyboard. The originator, Kenneth E. Iverson: https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/tot.htm (more)
The fastest I ever got better at programming was when I read Dave Moon's comments on an early version of On Lisp. It was like a thought review.

Computer Science degree hack: Read the examiner comments of the past exam papers. They’re often more useful than the solutions.

Do you still have the old version and his comments?

I don’t imagine this would have much utility to most people, even most Lisp hackers, but it might be invaluable to some, and surely would be of interest historically.

“ANSI Common Lisp” and “On Lisp” - and your essays, of course - were absolutely essential for my growth as a software developer. They taught me how to properly architect programs. I can’t be grateful enough.

Thanks, that made my day!
