Comment on Clojure and the technology adoption curveparent

Comments

It is a myth that you have to be a genius programmer to pick up Lisp dialects like Clojure. I think it's the opposite:

People should learn first through Racket and its awesome DrRacket. I wish I first learned programming in Racket and not Basic and Assembly.

My kids will go through Racket in a few years.

I agree. In our Programming Languages class the professor used Racket when introducing functional programming. It worked very well.
