i started years ago trying to wrap my head around emacs, i couldnt understand how to know what is returned when... it was awful...eventually i checked out gigamonkeys practical common lisp, an excellent book giving an intro to CL. it was great! i loved it!

oopsie. forgot to hold shift. anyways. CL is love.
by that time i tried to get that nice explorative feeling in gamedev and checked out arcadia, a clojure interface for unity. also really nice back then. WAAY before unity corp started the shitfest.
eventually i realized i didnt like having to wait for a CL or clojure session to init/keep one open all the time... and i swerved to thinking about implementing my own lisp as an extension to something... like unreal with graalvm maybe...
anyhow, eventually i stumbled upon janet-lang.org and fell in love
one could argue janet is not a true lisp because of the various datastructures and other reasons but that feels nitpicky... ^^'
