if you’d like to learn lisp and do horrible computer things with it like me, here’s how to start:
- Lists and Lists by the Interactive Fiction legend @zarfeblong is still a classic, a good gentle semi-gamified tutorial https://eblong.com/zarf/zweb/lists/
- The Little Schemer is a storybook introduction to Scheme (a small modern lisp variant close to Lists and Lists) that’s a remarkably relaxing read and suitable for most ages: archive at https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780262560993 but worth picking up a copy if you like it

anti-recommendations:
- anyone in the VC sphere who treats lisp like a set of magic incantations
- it probably goes without saying but an LLM shouldn’t be a part of your learning process at all. no not even because you just wanted to check something real quick
