On a more personal note, for some weird reason, Racket ended up being the language that got me one of my most important contracts. Through a whole series of butterfly-effect events, that eventually led me into CAD software development, which is where I discovered my love for metamaterials. It’s funny how these things happen!

because autocad is scripted in lisp ?

Never touched AutoCAD, I know they have autoLISP , but yeah maybe

Hiii, I'm Geometridae (Astrid Motilla)! A friend from the Racket community mentioned that my article appeared here. Thank you for reading it, and I'll make sure to take all this feedback and these different perspectives into account for this and future articles! :)

I’d also encourage you to give it a try and have some fun with it! I’m using it for some of the 3D demos in my book. It’s definitely not a silver bullet, but I’ve found it can be pretty productive.

Personally, my favorite Lisps are Racket, Common Lisp, and Clojure, in that order. I’ve also been tempted to give Chicken Scheme a try! :)

If you like those, a less well knowned Scheme you will likely really like is s7. :-)
