@BornAKang what. an. idiot.

@stylewarning @zetalyrae Thanks, Robert.

I am learning about Lisp now (and programming in general) and it seems that the Lisp ecosystem is a deserted landscape.

That's probably mostly because I'm reading a textbook from the early 90's and don't know where the Lisp treasures are hidden yet :P

@zetalyrae Article idea:

State of the Common Lisp Ecosystem, 202x

...3?
...4?
...5?

@lepinekong I found this book about two weeks ago and I am hooked. It truly is a gentle introduction -- despite the book's length. Or maybe because of it!

[liberlander @liberlander22]

I've been lazy about putting updates on here about #100DaysOfCode but coming and looking back at the progress so far is refreshing. There's something to be said for accountability. I'm not much of a journal-er but I think I'll continue to keep my own notes.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

In the meantime, all the Java books I ordered arrived. I'm curious to see what the 100 day journey will look like when I look back from the end. It already looks nothing like how it started!

Day #23
#100DaysOfCode continues!!!

Stopped Java and started learning Common Lisp back on day #10. This required setting up my lisp evaluation environment which took me on a couple days' detour into getting back into Emacs and setting up my configuration from vanilla Emacs.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

About 28% thru A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation. Learning Lisp is the first time I recall enjoying a programming related assignment. Not sure what I would use it for in particular, but I think I'll get to the end of this book and see how I feel about it.

@LiberlandHacker Attempting to "un-smug" the word won't get rid of the original.

If most English speakers have a hard time with it why would they even need to bother with it? English certainly has enough words already.

Day #13
The Lisp detour is in full swing. I might as well make it an official part of this #100DaysOfCode because I'm too into this to let it slide.
Working on Practical Common Lisp.

I'm guessing this wasn't the original spirit of this tag, but I'll get to coding eventually. lol

[liberlander @liberlander22]

Day #12
My detour into Common Lisp continues.
#100DaysOfCode

[liberlander @liberlander22]

Tried the common Lisp interpreter clisp in the Linux terminal. It evaluated a few functions I wrote as the exercises in chapter 3 of Common Lisp.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

Day #11
Reading about Clojure and Lisp in general. Lisp syntax put me off of AutoLISP many years ago, but now I'm finding Common Lisp and Clojure to be really interesting, mathematically and as programming languages.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

Day #10
While I will be focusing on Java, my goal for these 100 days is to learn about programming. This will mean detours in the Java journey for the sake of comprehensive understanding. Spent the day enthralled by Common Lisp reading 90s textbooks.

@DamienJamar336 Wow that suuuuuxxxxxxxx! Speedy recovery to him.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

@Gabriele_Corno This cat thinks it's a dog.

[liberlander @liberlander22]

Day #9
Java: A Beginner's Guide, 8th ed. (J:ABG_8e) chapter 1 complete.
Has similar structure as code academy, but actually way more detailed and faster paced. Seems like a good book, and has be using the compiler and interpreter directly in the command line.

#javaprotip

When running a java program on the command line, you only need the name of the class as the argument. DO NOT add the .class extension.

Just wasted a good half hour trying to run a one line program (rather, trying to correctly set my $CLASSPATH) 🤦‍♂️

@imnuso @E1ementZer0 @skyler_fs What was the fix? They are X-Men?
