LISP was way out there - but if you got the hang of it, recursions, it was fun. Not at all like anything procedural, and not like an object.
Funny, now I have students who do miserably in Python,but who thrive in C++ because C++ has more rules.
“Each to his own said the old lady as she kissed the cow.” As my grandma said.
I actually wrote a FFT in LISP as a class project.
Yes I was once insane! .... but I got better!
