Just so you know, I pledged 50 dollars because the original SICP is unreadable.

Clojure is not a Lisp and even less readable than Scheme. These people are idiots.

Will they finally include a tutorial on the syntax? I always forgot which parentheses closed and which one opened. At least add in a tutorial on how to declare var-

I will be using some of the money raised to buy a camera and rent a room for a face to face course in London (tickets at reduced prices, venue/timings announced soon) which I’ll record and use to inform the screencasts and projects for the course. I will also be pulling in some friends to work with me on the interpreter and compiler parts, I have some really interesting ideas for ways to get the ideas across (hopefully including a minimal x86 or LLVM lisp compiler project)

Clojure is a Lisp because it has the features of a Lisp and it uses prefix notation.

I thought the only people who liked SICP were professional internet memers.

It has a syntactic distinction between () and [] => it's not a Lisp.

Wat sort of argument is that? If its inherent data structure is a list, the language is also homoiconic, and it uses prefix notation, then it's a Lisp.

Clojure is a meme.

no one is commenting on the fact this nigger got paid 32k dollars to read sicp.

Clojure's inherent data structure is not just the list, but also the hash table, and other shit. This being better or worse than lisp is a matter of opinion, but it is not a lisp.

Because if () and [] are not equivalent, it's not homoiconic. For instance, because defn expects the arguments to be enclosed in [], you can't make a macro that returns (list a b c) and call it in the defn. You have to have a macro that returns a vector.

Lisp has one underlying code representation - the linked list. This shit with lists and vectors intermingled is not Lisp.

Hey guys, remember m-exprs?

Those are ok. It's just a different syntax for lists. The problem with clojure is not everything is a list, though clojurists would consider it an advantage rather than a problem.

There's nothing wrong with [] producing something different than () does, as long as you can tell the reader how to handle it. If you could do that in clojure it would still be homoiconic. Maybe it can, idk jvm shit.

In the year 2015 people pay others to read books for them.
I paid an Indian $50 and now I can gladly say "I've read SICP"

You'll need a lot more money if you want to make the average retard understand the brilliance of Donald Knuth's thought.
