Some fun CS stuff to read
- What's in a name? by Olin Shivers (one of the greatest schemers/lispers of all time)
- An epic thread on dynamic-wind including Gerald Sussman, RMS, Jonathan Rees, Aubrey Jaffer. Includes the interesting tidbit of history by gjs: rms was the inventor of dynamic-wind in 1980, for a Scheme-on-a-chip! (hat tip to David Thompson who first pointed to me to this thread, which I have returned to repeatedly over time)
- Functors, Applicatives, And Monads In Pictures Frequently referenced all over the place in reference to Monads, and no wonder why! I'm drafting an article explaining how to do this with generic methods and GOOPS (yes, GOOPS) in Guile, since that was the first way I ever wrote monads supporting code I understood.
Anyone want to pile on some more interesting links?

There's always the Jargon File at http://www.catb.org/jargon/ :)
I've also been enjoying The Codeless Code recently

I think that https://www.gitbook.com/book/drboolean/mostly-adequate-guide/details is must read regarding introduction to FP. I would be happy to help contribute a translation to guile...
