The only way I was able to grok programming was through Racket. I owe my confidence and understanding to Gregor Kizcales’ How to Code, which makes clear to this art student what a dozen other language tutorials in a dozen other languages could not. I deeply love Racket and give thanks to its makers.

Great! I'm glad you found a path to computing, that is truly wonderful! And I'm not surprised that this approach worked so well for someone.

Now, let's make sure we're finding ways that can generalize. It's an important problem in the world today.
