18:59 <lorikeet> hey all. I'm a somewhat experienced programmer trying to get started with lisps and functional-style programming. Is it worth the time investment to read SICP or HtDP if I already have a CS background?

19:03 efm has joined #racket

19:16 <erkin> lorikeet: I'd say yes.

19:16 <erkin> HTDP is on a gradient from absolute beginner to competent programmer, so you can simply skip earlier parts.

19:17 <erkin> SICP is a very good book on understanding the fundamentals of computer programming, which is a surprisingly underpublished field.

19:18 <erkin> It uses a barebones Scheme to build up several high-level features that we take for granted.

19:19 <erkin> I consider myself somewhat experienced and I found quite a few things in SICP that I didn't know I was lacking.

19:21 <lorikeet> @erkin awesome, thanks for the advice :)

19:21 <erkin> No problem. :-)

19:21 <erkin> If you're looking into learning functional programming specifically, I'd go straight to SICP.

19:22 <erkin> It shows the power of higher-order functions, closures, recursion etc.

19:23 <lorikeet> cool, I'll def start there then
