I’ve always flunked at math; and knowing how intertwined programming is with math, I’m skeptical of my ability to learn how to code. Can someone be too dumb to learn programming? If it helps, I’m mostly interested in learning Common Lisp.

    THIS!! Start with something simple like Python. I don’t think you need to be good at math to be a good programmer. If you understand the concepts of math theny you will be fine. I heard Rita Wilson say the other day something like “If you keep practising something you can only get better at it”. (not a direct quote) Find a Problem then solve it. That is the best way to learn.
