Re: Learning LISP from scratch


The subject under discussion is "learning Lisp," not "learning how to
use C development tactics in a Lisp environment."

If you know C development, I think it's good to use lisp like C at
first. It lets you grasp the differences gently.

If you wish to learn Lisp, open your mind to the generosity of very
talented developers such as Edi, who are offering very good advice, if
you would heed it.

I still think learning Emacs at the same time as learning Lisp is
quite a mouthful to swallow, so just using a text editor seems like
a good idea to me.

If you do not wish to learn Lisp, but only want to stay set in your
ways, perhaps you can keep that to yourself.

What about the people who might agree with me?
