I am one of those people whose first introduction to computing was through <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BASIC</a>, and it was a thoroughly bad introduction. It's not a language in which it is easy to think.I'm fortunate in that two years later I was introduced to <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lisp</a>. I don't think I would have totally given up computing if I hadn't met Lisp, but I would not have become the person I am now.

Serge from BabkaUnpopular opinion: Classic Lisp/Scheme isn't a great first programming language.[1]When I learned Lisp in school I was incredibly confused by the difference between functional programming in the sense of passing functions and creating macros.That key distinction and difference is important, and the homoiconicity[3] of Lisp made that distinction less clear than it needed to be.Teach Scheme second or third if you like, not first.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Scheme</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/CompterScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CompterScience</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ComputerProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ComputerProgramming</a> [1] No I'm not talking about LOGO.[2][2] If LOGO was your first programming language (it was mine) then you're old.[3] This is the Fediverse and now I'm sure someone is going to change their username to"Homoiconicity"

Simon BrookeNew general purpose processor chip that's claimed to be two orders of magnitude more power efficient than ARM, which is exciting enough in itself. But more, it's a hardware <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DataFlow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataFlow</a> engine, so it looks to me as though it would be an ideal architecture for functional languages including <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> .Downside, from what I've read so far? It appears to depend on proprietary compiler technology -- the compiler is obviously considerably different from a conventional design. <a href="https://www.efficient.computer/electron-e1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.efficient.computer/electron-e1</a>

(seq-partition) from seq.el doesn't do the trick, it's a kinda false friend.Edit: the options being - seq-group-by - -partition-by - hacking cl-reduce
