If you do Common Lisp, keep in mind that Guy Steele's _Common Lisp: the Language_¹ is much more than a specification (while not a textbook).

@vnikolov@ieji.de @spook@pleroma.m68k.church I would recommend looking into Scheme, which is a revised, modern lisp invented in the 70s. While imperative style is prominent in lisp, it is commonly frowned upon in scheme, which still allows imperative style but encourages functional programming. The canonical book is SICP, https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/books_pres_0/6515/sicp.zip/index.html #SICP #lisp #scheme #guile
