[Mycroft Holmes]

My cousin inflicted LISP on me as my second computer language after FORTRAN about 1970. I recall this 2 inch thick blue and white bound book of confusion and grew to hate counting parenthesis.

On the other hand, it did make Assembly seem very easy.

My cousin inflicted LISP on me as my second computer language after FORTRAN about 1970. I recall this 2 inch thick blue and white bound book of confusion and grew to hate counting parenthesis.

When I saw the bumper sticker on the vehicle (a Jeep, a matter of fact) on loop 820 in Ft. Worth, it prompted me to skim my Winston and Horn book. I haven't cracked Lisp: 3rd Edition in a dozen years or so. What made me feel ancient is that they describe CAR and CDR as used only by we hoary old timers. FIRST and REST? C'mon man! :)
