     @Moon I think I'm going to learn a little lisp. Nyxt browser uses it for configuration and I need enough at least for that. Reading through the introduction to the book it seems like it might be fun to learn.

     @thatguyoverthere I like lisp but I haven't used it for maybe 22 years.

     @Moon I never got into it myself, but it seems interesting at least. I'm sure some of the appeal is just from the excitement the author has about the language. Nyxt needs persistent configuration to be written in lisp so I need at least enough to start playing around with that.

     @thatguyoverthere I used common lisp mainly but in school also did Scheme but I can't remember which Scheme.

     @thatguyoverthere I might mess with Scheme again because Spritely Goblins (a distributed computing platform) is written in it, Guile Scheme specifically.

     @Moon the various dialects aspect of lisp is kind of intriguing too. I've heard of scheme but didn't realize it was lisp. I was also reading that lisp was popular for ml/ai applications. I'd rather learn lisp than more python for that too tbh

     @thatguyoverthere Yes, when I was at university I was doing common lisp for AI vision occluded shape detection.

     @Moon that's cool. I tried going to school but I ended up at a school that didn't really have much to offer in the it space, and what they did offer was centered around Windows and Cisco.

     @thatguyoverthere I feel like my computer science degree was worth getting but at the same time I almost never use the specific stuff I learned. I graduated before anything I work with today was even invented.

     @Moon I feel like if I could afford the time and money I'd like to go through some courses just so I can get a bit more informed on certain mathematical concepts and stuff. I am competent enough for my work but there might be better ways to do some of the things I do that just aren't obvious because I only know what I have bumped into myself over the years without any formal training.

     @thatguyoverthere I guess MIT has free courses and coursework now for programming

     @Moon I think these days time is my most scarse resource, but if it is self paced that might be worth looking into.
