What I'm really interested in is why this is so popular now. Clicking on the name-next-to-the-title it looks like this is the 6th time it's been posted. The other posts got 13 points _total_, and this one is now at 130-ish.
Does anyone have any links to articles about how sites like HackerNews and/or Reddit get gamed? Any ideas about good keywords to put into a Google search to find info about this?
What a coincidence, I just received this yesterday in mail. So far it looks great, Im really excited to be coding again while learning some scheme...
From my fitst impression the books presentation is great, and the cover is, wow, I don’t know what it’s coated with but it feels like velvet. Very exciting!!
Racket is a working man's Scheme. Seriously appreciate the Racket world and how it has helped my coding. How to Design Programs is the best book I ever got through. I wish Racket got a lot more general computing users it is such a fun language.
This book is great! If only I didn't have a dozen plus other technical books still unread from my Black Friday shopping spree... I've been making progress but the bargain buying got a bit out of control this year.
If this is interesting, you may also appreciate the cousin of this book written for Common Lisp: Land of Lisp (http://landoflisp.com/?ref=nf/)!
It has an amusing sample chapter to see what you're getting into.
