When I read things like the second paragraph above, I start to wonder if maybe I am actually a terrible programmer because I only ever learned what you might generously call “applied computer science” aka only the languages commonly used in typical workplaces (Java, PHP, Ruby, JS) and none of the CS classics. Does anyone else without the so-called ‘academic’ languages foundation ever feel this way when you see people on HN always writing about Lisp and its peers?
