LISP?
« on: January 29, 2012 »


Any LISP coders?  I am new to the language and it seems exceedingly interesting and potentially very powerful despite 30 years of imperative programming making it rather a bit of a bear to understand.  There are a number of great lecture courses on Youtube about it, specifically "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs," both the MIT and Stanford versions.  I've tried cracking lisp before and gave up-- I am a little farther this time.

I had a dabble with LISP at university, had to do a few projects, but that was a long time ago!

Hey spathi, I'm giving LISP a go too. It's good to try something completely different to improve your programming abilities.  I am reading "Land of Lisp: Learn to Program Lisp, One Game at a Time! by Conrad Barski" which is a really fun book that reminds me of the excitement of first learning programming from Usbourne books for the BBC micro :)
I wonder if anyone has written a cool demo in LISP?
