@superflippy it feels too much like programming in visual basic and not a "proper" language.
Sadly I have learnt so much of the world is indeed written in visual basic
@dylanisaiah difficult to enumerate. Some bits feel very old (like the "car" function named after a register on an old IBM mainframe from the 70s) and some of it is space age: getting into macros and writing programs that write programs.
It's a language that you will be learning new things about for years and years.
A good place to start is googling "practical common lisp" as a free introductory book.
It is, unfortunately, completely unemployable!
It's like you're walking through an abandoned mall and discover a custom rolls Royce parked with the keys in the ignition fully fueled. And you can just... Drive it.
It's got a lot of quirks but underneath it all is a solid foundation that has so many good ideas in
Dang this anime is cuter than i remembered
