I have taken the leap and started to learn Common Lisp. What really
gets me is that everything is constructed around lists, so sometimes I
have to kind of guess at how an expression is constructed. It's also
not super clear when variables exist in the environment of a
subexpression, which makes implementation a bit frustrating. But I
feel I am getting the hang of it for the most part. At the moment I am
seeing how long I can go without using any external libraries. I was
able to find a split implementation online. I could have done it
myself, but that's really not fun.
If you have any resources for common lisp or tips and tricks to
avoiding using regex, or you just want to say hi, shoot me an email :)
