Cool, I didn't know there was a HN connection but now I can see it. I've only used some Lisp-like languages with tools Emacs and now logseq, but never in production.

In my experience, the linear algebra / differential equation analogy for software development is OOP / functional.

Have fun learning Swift, I really enjoy using it, especially compared to Obj-C (though I know that is a controversial opinion in some circles). Swift has some interesting applications outside of iOS / MacOS as well, including being one of the few languages which currently supports differentiable programming!
