[plt-scheme] Hit People Over the Head with HtDP
I've been through phases of advocacy, but the languages advocacy space
is *so saturated* with wanking from narrow experience that the
marketplace of ideas is more like a sleazy bathhouse.
My attitude now, having been doing this for decades, is one of no longer
being interested in 99% of people's perspectives on languages or
software development. "*Read this one document*, and ask on the list if
you get stuck anywhere. Or don't, but stop telling me about your
'python' and your navel-gazing theories. I'm all set with that myself." :)
