I'm planning to run a code reading seminar for some
ambitious students at my faculty. I'm wondering whether
it could be a good idea to study this;).
(In fact, not really - at least not in the beginning -
let them learn some more typical stuff before exposing
young minds to Emacs Lisp with its peculiarities, like
`interactive'. We'll start with Python and JS, though
some Common Lisp is also planned.)
That's like "teaching" a child to walk one leg, the first
week, the other, the second, and together, only afterwards.
Ugh; Not Recommended.
Everything is peculiar in some respect. If you choose those
of Emacs Lisp, your students may grind their teeth but they
will eventually learn some self-respect (and maybe some love
for parentheses :-D).
