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.

Nah, no need to worry. I’ve got a friend that was bad at math and therefore dismissed a career as programmer initially. Eventually, he just couldn’t ignore how much programming interested him and did start a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (after disliking his first year of Finance). A couple of years later and he’s the proud owner of a Master’s degree in Computer Science while still being relatively bad at math, but it didn’t stop him. Nor should it stop you.
