LISP and schemes have always, from a distance appeared to be the best way to write code. I even started my own language that has languished for the past couple years, and it’s taken on a pseudo-likeness to (scheme)-like languages by accident.
This brings me to my questions -
- How did you start?
- Does anyone here do systems-level scheme/lisp? what do you program in for that? My why on learning lisp/scheme-like languages, and if anyone knows Chez.
I find the idea of CLI-inspired languages as one of the best possible ways of writing a language, and lisp is very nearly exactly that, it’s just how my mind thinks about code, in a procedural/functional/modular way. This is one of the reasons I adore programming in Odin, as it’s a modern systems-level procedu…

This is one of the reasons I adore programming in Odin, as it’s a modern systems-level procedural language, but it is not a scheme/lisp-like language. I should note, I abhor working with REPLs, but I can learn to live with it.
Corollary, as I am sure the audience for this is even smaller, ignore if you haven’t a clue - but I am incredibly interested in Chez, for the performance metrics, the systems design, and the whole lot - yet there aren’t any real resources other than the manual to learn. As I am not a native schemer, it’s almost alien, and a bit hard to get right into and make something useful. Does anyone know of any good resources for this?
