Hi, I’d like to second Vladimir’s recommendation of Felleisen's How to Design Programs (https://htdp.org/). It is a very well-written book that doesn’t go too deep without preparing you first. (I should note that I didn’t finish it.) SICP is a classic, and it is very comprehensive, but it is

I've read Practical Common Lisp. It's very good to learn Common Lisp if you already know the basics of programming. It's rather "practical" and does not go into the deeper concepts introduced by SICP. In particular, it does not deal much with functional programming. -- Pierre Neidhardt

Raghav, I can't *not* mention classics like SICP (Free, comes with retro-wave videos, easily found on-line), and The {Little,{R,S}easoned} Schemer series (not free, and not for everyone). Both of these focus on Scheme, which as you probably know is a very elegant minimal dialect of Lisp.

Oops, my bad. After a closer inspection of %load-path, I noticed that guile modules are indeed there, however the one module that I tried to load (ice-9 readline) seems not to be in the distro anymore. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Monday, 9 September 2019 09:47, Todor Kondić via

Is it normal that I can't load ice-9 modules from within guix repl ? Because, this is the default behaviour on my hybrid system (guix on top of pop-os (ubuntu) ).
