Can one be too dumb for programming? (lemmy.ml)

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.

But writing a program is all about expressing your intent in a programming language, step by step. It's about "communicating" with the machine (and your users).

And your coworkers, and 'you a year from now'. For the love of god have some compassion with 'you a year from now' and save him a day of debugging.
