@screwtape @amszmidt One of my best friends is a mathematician. He is not a coder. But he is tickled pink when I show him Lisp because he can so easily relate it back to mathematics.

He first brought that up when I was talking about lisp and mentioned functions. He did that "Well yea, but..." intro all people of differing expertise do, but when I demonstrated how functions work in Lisp, he's really gotten to like the language (even though he has no intention of learning to code).

Functional coding and functional math are not the same thing, but there is a clear familiarity between them.
