It's The Summer of Sexps!

For June, as part of #12in23, we're looking at languages that are dialects of Lisp. With languages ranging from 50 to 10 years old, its fascinating to see how this branch of programming has grown and evolved! Come and explore Scheme, Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp, Clojure and Racket with us! In this video, Jeremy and Erik explore the different languages, and try to help you decide which one to try! - Join #12in23 at - Subscribe on Twitch: - Chat on the Forum: - Join our Discord: - Swag store: Tell us which languages you're trying out this month in the comments!
