I learned programming for fun. I still enjoy it today, but I don't think I would have stuck with it without aspirations of endless tinkering. It is that aspect I seem to enjoy the most.
Counterfactual scenarios are too easy to wax philosophical about. I didn't start with any lisp, but I wish I had. Whether I enjoy Racket so much because I started with something else or because it is just that good is something only those wiser than me can say. I think the latter, but I can't relive my life to test the hypothesis.
