Hey Mia! Picolisp noob from the foothills of the Rockies SW of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I started my Picolisp journey a few days ago. I'm just am amateur/hobbyist. I thoroughly enjoyed the few of your blog posts/tutorials that I've read so far. Thanks! Hope that you're on irc:#picolisp as well. BTW, I've learned other languages best via CGI etc. I'm hoping to do the same with PicoLisp. 💐

Already sold, this is a place I will come and read as often as there are posts. Personally love XKCD. My LISP interests all started with two books, "Masterminds of Programming" and "Coders at Work" which interviewed the top language creators that almost everything rests upon and their common LISP backgrounds.

They also implied a guarantee for LISP, once grok'd, that you could go back years later and read the code as plain English unlike many legacy languages.
