OK, follow your own advice for once: - one of the best book on Perl (not by my choices but by the number of time I heard about it) is Higher-Order. It explains that one of the issue with Perl is that the programmers are using Perl almost a C when Perl is closer to LISP than to C and they should use it differently. - when you compare the number of great books with the number of programmers, you can see that LISP is over represented. Once again, not by my word but by the number of time I hear about lists of great books for programmer. The Science and Interpretation of Computer Programs is very often present. A little bit less but very often nevertheless is Paradigmes of Artificial Intelligence Programming is often strongly advised, too. - LISP is clearly the underdog compared with Perl. And even good Perl programmers says using Perl in a LISP way is better than using it in a C way. So, you should follow your own advice, for once, and forget about Perl to switch to LISP. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io
