14:12 <macsystem1> Hello

14:12 <macsystem1> are people still using this channel?

14:36 <moldybits> very sporadic use

14:36 <moldybits> from what i can tell

14:48 <macsystem1> hahah

14:49 <macsystem1> interesting

14:50 <macsystem1> I am trying to learn lisp and I got curious when I saw there was still an irc channel

14:50 <macsystem1> pleasure to be here

14:51 <macsystem1> I believe developers should take a step back and go back to the roots rather than simply learning high level framework without understanding the first thing about programming

14:52 <macsystem1> so I am starting with doing so myself first

14:53 <gbr422777> any recommendation / advice on where/how to start?

14:53 <gbr422777> just fixed my nickname

14:54 <jackdaniel> do you have a prior programming experience?

14:55 <gbr422777> of course

14:55 <jackdaniel> there are channels: #lisp (general lisp discussion), #clschool (for beginners) and numerious tematic channels

14:56 <gbr422777> I write C / C++ / Java / Obj C / backend/frontend etc.. also assembly as I learned a bit about lisp 9 years ago but never took it production level

14:56 <jackdaniel> regarding learning materials: many people will recommend you "practical common lisp" and "paradigms of artificial intelligence programming" (so-called paip)

14:56 <jackdaniel> both are available on the internet for free

14:56 <gbr422777> cool

14:56 <gbr422777> sorry to be intruding here, I realize here is mainly about slime, but I thought you may talk lisp as well

14:57 <jackdaniel> if you want to avoid hassle with setting up the programming envirnoment check out https://portacle.github.io/

14:57 <gbr422777> nice, naa I don't mind the hassle it is the fun part

14:57 <gbr422777> but I will check this out both ways

14:57 <jackdaniel> fighting of emacs was never my favourite part

14:57 <jackdaniel> I think that would be it (at least from advice I can provide)

14:58 <gbr422777> hahah

14:58 <gbr422777> cool then, thanks a lot

14:58 <jackdaniel> if you have programming questiosn #lisp and #clschool are much better than here (more people)

14:58 <gbr422777> perfect

14:59 <gbr422777> hahaha

14:59 <gbr422777> you too!

14:59 <jackdaniel> s/of emacs/with emacs/

15:00 <gbr422777> cheers, will be back for sure!
