@cr1901 Lisp is a cool thing to find out about though! -
@starsandrobots SICP is a very difficult book for me to get through. I think someone with no prior experience would have an easier time. -
@starsandrobots But Lisp didn't trip me up b/c of the syntax lol. No, that was everything else (esp. evaluation).
