SCIP is a stupid meme from le redditte, LISP is fucking dumb, if was good people would use it, but it sucks so it doesnt get used outside of college classes and hobbiest projects, so ironically it's actually the exact kind of silly academic crapola stemfags claim to hate
>>9448328
The only meme aspect of SCIP is its $50.
The book is good.

only people have never done any coding beyond homework assignments think functional programming is good, wow, look at how easily i can write a commandline calculator program in LISP! clearly this language is great! ok cool now try to write something actually useful and/or commercializable
>>9448819
Someone who understands functional programming will be more useful than someone who only thinks in terms of what is 'commercializable.'
You should have a solid comprehensive and theoretical knowledge of whatever it is youre doing.

functional programming is fucking dumb, it's a really stupid meme by kids who never went to college, and don't work professionally as programmers, don't be a pseud, that shit is wack
also, if something is commercializable that means it provide value to people, if you can't commercialize it, then no one wants it and it has no value. grow up.

>The only things with value are the things you can buy.
What about family? What about love? You can't buy those.
