Proud to Have Programmed in LISP...
Tuesday, November 08, 2005 at 2:45 AM
...But not necessarily to have excelled in it!
Lisp ranks up there among the most difficult languages I've tried. The UP Diliman BS CS program exposes its students to a wide array of programming languages and paradigms (object-oriented, expression-oriented, and so on), and Lisp was one of those 'heavyweights' in CS 150. Other languages were Perl, Tcl, Haskell, Python, Smalltalk, and Prolog.The good and bad memories of Lisp: - GOOD. Of course, hurdling a language most programmers would find alien always feels good.
- BAD. "Give an overview of the Lisp syntax" was the question I drew for a 5-minute oral exam. It was the only topic I wasn't prepared for out of a dozen.
- GOOD. Sophia and I managed to finish LUKIM: A Pure Lisp Interpreter in Java on the deadline, evading an Incomplete grade!
- BAD. Have you tried coding a Lisp program by hand in a pressure-packed exam?
Even steven, I guess!*Those nice Lisp logos come from Lisperati.com.

mention, too, what we were supposed to do with lisp! insertion sort? bubble sort? gahhh! x_x
horror of horrors! ;)
Lisp? Argh! No! I don't want to think about it, huhuhu.
Come to think of it, I should have studied there in D... Oh well, there's still the graduate school ;)
to fleeb: should you continue, then you'd be fortunate enough to use the new CS building (see my next post)... :)
