NP. You may also want to check out Norvig's Paradigms of AI Programming if this interests you. A lot of that text involves creating data-driven programs, and some of the benefits (like creating a grammar lets you recognize sentences that satisfy it, or with little extra effort generate sentences from it).


I'm actually working through SICP for the second time right now[1]. This looks like a great place to go after I finish that. I've been meaning to roll my sleeves up and finally dig into the Common Lisp ecosystem, so far it's been mostly Clojure, emacs-lisp, and a bit of Guile[2]. The incredible depth and breadth of the language, and the fact that good documentation seems to be split across all of its various implementations, makes approaching it feel like swimming into the deep end without your water wings.

[1] The first time was my introduction to lisp, so only bits of it stuck.

[2] A criminally underrated language IMHO| "Knit, Chisel, Hack: Building Programs in Guile Scheme" by Andy Wingo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwiaT3MoDVs


This is a really different definition of data driven.
