>>108967280When I did look at lisp briefly, I did find that it has a more simpler lambda system than all other languages. Lisp however is in a format that is just very difficult to learn and come back to.
>>108967280Is there a straight forward linear resource to learning lisp? The current resources are not linear, it's hard to learn is what I am saying as nicely as possible.
>>108967746It just looks different from what you're used to. I used to think the same, but with a little acclimation, it's not harder or easier. (I think structural editing is kinda fun, though.)
>>108967756Take a look at this very short book.https://almightylisp.com/It'll get you bootstrapped and competent in CL fairly quickly if you work through their examples. You probably already know some of what they're going to teach you. It'll fill in the gaps in your knowledge.

>>108967770Looks nice! Thank you!
>>108974812>vulpeahttps://www.d12frosted.io/posts/2025-11-28-vulpea-v2-breaking-up-with-org-roamThis is really interesting. It has a lot of the same capabilities of org-roam, but it's more programmer-friendly. If you want to build systems on top of it, you can. Vino is an example this. The question of how to build specialized databases was on my mind recently, and I'm glad I found something like this.

>>108967756>Is there a straight forward linear resource to learning lisp?"A gentle introduction to symbolic computation"
>>108967756>The current resources are not linear, it's hard to learn is what I am saying as nicely as possible.How about "Practical Common Lisp", which is very good, and "Land of Lisp" which is fun? But really, the core of Lisp can be explained more or less succintly:- Everything is an expression- Expressions are delimited by parenthesis ()- Every expression evaluates to a value. - Special values are T and NIL, consider them "true " and "null/false" but more in a minute...- For logic operations or boolean operations, everything that is not NIL is considered true. T is also true because it is not NIL.- There are many data types, most of them you know like integers or strings, but one you don't know is the SYMBOL. - A symbol is just a token you can use to represent something, for example you can have a list with the elements (SCISSORS KNIFE PAPER STONE), scissors, knife, paper, stone can be symbols, in that case they're not variables because variables are replaced (evaluated) to another value; symbols just stay as their are, they evaluate to their own value. - A typical use of a symbol is to pass options to a function, for example if i call a function like this: (read-csv-file myfile :quote-mode :always)both ":quote-mode" and ":always" are symbols too, which in this context would specify that the CSV file will always be quoted. - In the previous example, symbols have ":" prepended. These symbols are called "keywords" and they have a small difference: they are global, not unique to a namespace ("package"), while regular symbols have their own namespace ("package")

>>108975257(continuation)- to call a function "myfunction" with arguments 3.14 and "apple" the syntax would be: (myfunction 3.14 "apple")This will pass the values/arguments to "myfunction" and thus evaluating the expression to a value. (Remember, in Lisp, everything evaluates to a value or "returns a value" if you want to see it that way.) Functions are similar to what you have in Python: they have a name, arguments, can have variable arguments, optional arguments, keyword arguments, etc. - however, if you write: '(myfunction 3.14 "apple")The prepended quote (') tells the Lisp compiler/engine ("lisp implementation" in proper terms) that we don't want to evaluate the function. This means your input evaluates to a LIST with three elements:1. myfunction, a SYMBOL 2. 3.14, a float number3. "apple", a string- lists are the fundamental or main data structure. Lisp has a ton of functions to do all kinds of stuff with lists. - Lisp source code (i.e. function definitions) is MADE OF nested LISTS. Think this twice. Lisp source code is made of lists, and Lisp has a ton of functions to do all kinds of stuff with lists. - Thus you should be able to write procedural code that takes source code (a list) as input, and produces source code (a list) as an output. This would enable you to create code that transforms code. Such kind of procedure is called a MACRO. - A macro, syntactically, is used exactly like a function. The difference is that a function is evaluated(called) at runtime while a macro is often called at compile time. Thus, when you compile your source code (for example when you compile a function), the Lisp compiler executes all macros, thus processing your source code to its final form, and then compiling it. - Macros, then, allow you to extend the programming language as you wish. Macros are an essential feature of Lisp and a Lisp IDE has many features intended to make debugging and testing of macros easy.
is there any way to do generic functions in guile without goops?
>>108974875No problem. That book didn't exist when I decided to learn CL, but I think it would have sped up my learning process if I had access to it. With that said, there *is* one resource that I found myself going back to time and time again while I was learning CL, and I still reference it now.The Common Lisp Cookbookhttps://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/https://github.com/LispCookbook/cl-cookbook/It's extremely practical in what it covers, and whenever I wondered "How do I do ___ in CL?" ...more often than not, I found the answer in this book. It's not even an exaggeration to say that over 90% of my CL knowledge came from skimming sections of this book when I needed help. I really like this book, and I'm thankful for @vindarel for maintaining it.
