"first"

fun "first" language to learn.

I say first because I took C++ in highschool and enjoyed it, and I wanted to try common lisp but I'm not certain if its supposed to be a joke or not.

any help would be nice.

You don't have to know shit about computers to know how a sorting algorithm works.
You should know that your computer allows using "arrays" with efficient "compare" and "inplace swap" operations. A different underlying architecture such as distributed computation units operating on immutable data would call for vastly different algorithms.

Of course like a drunkard can't smell his own filth, your narrow-mindness doesn't let you notice that there even exist things that you take for granted.
