Recently, I have become interested in the little-known gems that the programming world has to offer. It amazes me to see that a variety of relatively obscure languages have many features that our modern languages, like Java, are still missing.
Reddit initially got me interested in Haskell, but I just don’t care enough about it to work with it right now. I have since decided to experiment with Lisp. The second chapter of Practical Common Lisp got me hooked. It is hard not to be wowed by the author’s implementation of a lispy SQL.
Right now, I am working through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. This is one of the classic programming texts, and hopefully will make me a better programmer, all while learning Scheme in the process. So far, what I have read is awesome.
I hope to average an exercise per day, and I will post my answers on here, hopefully for discussion.
