Posting Etiquette
-
Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
-
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
-
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

I am having the time of my life with Clojure. Lisps in general. They really change how you view software. I was showing how clojure works to my Java coworker and showing her the REPL and powers of Clojure, and we both almost teared up :)) It's tgat good.
This might be a stupid question but what is Lisp they use in emacs? People talk about 'lisps' in plural so I can't tell if its a family of languages or just one language thats just really flexible
Emacs Lisp.
It's a family with a long history. There are lots of lisp dialects out there. It's also quite easy to roll your own.
Interesting, thank you
