Learn more lisp

I don’t think that anyone could ever finish learning lisp (okay, maybe Paul Graham, Peter Norvig and Rainer Joswig) but I think I have achieved more than aim, including a decent grasp of some of the more previously inaccesible areas of coding.

It has also introduced me to ocaml and the world of functors and pattern matching et al, along with a touch of haskell and monads and reactive programming.

The more you know, the more you discover you don’t know.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours trying to fully get my head around the do loop. Its one thing to read something I but I know from experience that the ‘do’ing can sometimes prove how much you dont fully understand. The moment I ‘got’ it was inspiration to fully master macros which I will continue today in earnest.
