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.

Primary and secondary school math is mostly arithmetic and memorisation. It’s not until late high school and university when you get to do real math, which is a study of logic and proofs. If you were horrible at math in school, you might still have the makings of a great mathematician.
