Re: Help with Learning Programming and LISP

Hi, I’d like to second Vladimir’s recommendation of Felleisen's How to Design Programs (https://htdp.org/). It is a very well-written book that doesn’t go too deep without preparing you first. (I should note that I didn’t finish it.) SICP is a classic, and it is very comprehensive, but it is

Re: Help with Learning Programming and LISP

I've read Practical Common Lisp. It's very good to learn Common Lisp if you already know the basics of programming. It's rather "practical" and does not go into the deeper concepts introduced by SICP. In particular, it does not deal much with functional programming. -- Pierre Neidhardt https:/

Here are some "introductory yet comprehensive" books about programming with Scheme that will help you get proficient with Guile and other Scheme implementations: Felleisen et al's How to Design Programs: https://htdp.org/ Havrey and Wright's Simply Scheme Springer and Friedman's Scheme and the A

Re: Help with Learning Programming and LISP

Raghav, I can't *not* mention classics like SICP (Free, comes with retro-wave videos, easily found on-line), and The {Little,{R,S}easoned} Schemer series (not free, and not for everyone). Both of these focus on Scheme, which as you probably know is a very elegant minimal dialect of Lisp. W

Help with Learning Programming and LISP

Hello Folks! I do not have any computing and programming background. I would like to learn programming starting with LISP. I found out that there are dialects of LISP. The ones I am interested in are Common LISP, Emacs LISP, Scheme and Guile Scheme. Can some one suggest indroductory yet comphren

guix repl in emacs and shell

Continuing with my experiments with guix/guile REPL, I tried loading a module into guix REPL instance in Emacs: ,use (gnu packages xorg) This failed with "no code for module (git)" error. The same code works from the command line REPL. Comparing the %load-path variables between the instances, it

Re: guix repl and ice-9 modules

... which leads to a question, why is there no readline anymore? I notice it is a separate package in guix. Is this a guix decision, or a new development in guile? ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Monday, 9 September 2019 09:55, Todor Kondić wrote: > Oops, my bad. After a closer inspecti

Re: guix repl and ice-9 modules

Oops, my bad. After a closer inspection of %load-path, I noticed that guile modules are indeed there, however the one module that I tried to load (ice-9 readline) seems not to be in the distro anymore. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Monday, 9 September 2019 09:47, Todor Kondić via wrote

guix repl and ice-9 modules

Is it normal that I can't load ice-9 modules from within guix repl ? Because, this is the default behaviour on my hybrid system (guix on top of pop-os (ubuntu) ).
