Lisp

“For years, I’ve defended lisp in pragmatism oriented SWE back and forths with ’they’re all an AST underneath, anyway..”

Now that I’m writing lisp on the job, I’m in a “gotta catch’em all” kinda mood and thinking of elaborating upon the eccentricities in my upcoming blogs and videos.

There’s a lot of questions I have:
- when do you deploy which one?
- are there any bad ones?
- why does that one exist?
- ..

• I’d always wanted to write production lisp: was dreaming about it since sophomore year of uni (~7 years to that): finally.., we’re here
• going to start work on goose : along the way, chasing that lisp flow/enlightenment I once experienced long ago
• post discussions with some folks, clojure isn’t supposed the vanilla lisp and aspects orthogonal to that mindset await to be grasped
• going for a focused burst of immersion (practical coupled with a literature sweep (blogs, papers, books)) to really get a feel for what’s up
• have been going easy for the past couple of years when it comes to levelling up on my lisp speak because there was always some work I had to get done
• interesting that this is work now, long way..
