@vaporeon_ i really like the pedagogical purrspective the authors of https://htdp.org/2024-11-6/Book/index.html took when writing their book; after teaching the classic SICP fur enough years they were just like “okay we need to do better than that” and they did it themselves

@vaporeon_ the one potential downside depending on your level of experience is that the goal of the book is to teach purrogramming to beginners, so if you “just want to learn lisp”, it may not be efficient?

@aescling Yeah, that might be a problem, I am the kind of Vaporeon who might lose motivation if everything is too easy for too long

I have vague memories of starting to watch SICP lecture recordings on YouTube many years ago, but I do prefer a book over a video, and also I would need some programming exercises to actually learn LISP rather than just read about it...

Looks like the book that you linked indeed has programming exercises! Bookmarked it ✅

(Regarding my level of experience: I'd say I have pretty good level of experience with C. I have also done basic functional programming in Haskell before, but that was long ago. Never used LISP before...)
