Now, the programming concepts book that I really want would be the successor to Lisp in Small Pieces (ISBN 0-521-56247-3), but AFAICT, it hasn't been finished. Writing a recursive function to perform that calculation is pretty straight forward, and once we put all of these pieces together in our create-world routine, we have a working proof of concept. Homoiconicity is what makes lisp so appealing to me, ;; far more than most other languages. Caveat: this is not a best-of nor a comprehensive list of Lisp books; it is merely a selection of Lisp books you may not have heard of or that special to me in some way. The following code snipped from the REPL prompt We're glossing over a few details here, but if you have a little experience working with Lisp then you should have a pretty good idea of how to implement the above. €�One of my New Year's goals is to re-read Lisp in Small Pieces and implement all 11 interpreters and 2 compilers. Amazon.ca was having an unexpected sale on Lisp in Small Pieces, one of the best books on implementing lisp. Chapter 5 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and chapter 7 of Lisp in Small Pieces both present byte-code interpreting virtual machines for Scheme that are implemented in Scheme. This entry was posted in Book by tkg. For about a day it was selling better than Harry Potter. Lisp in Small Pieces builds entire compilers ;; based upon this idea.
