It is a quick reference guide consisting on a set of pages that can be stacked together to form a little booklet. Beautiful to look at.
I wish I had this for other languages and cannot recommend it enough.
- walabaloo 10y agoThat's really interesting, I've always loved the thought of hand bound books, especially "homemade". Are you aware of any other projects like this?
- Arcsech 10y agoThere's Julia Evans' Zines[0], although they're a different style than the linked guide. I have them printed and pinned to my cube wall. [0] http://jvns.ca/zines/ http://jvns.ca/zines/
- zeveb 10y agoThat is really awesome — I recommend that anyone who's interested in programming languages in general take a quick look!
- dangom 10y agoImpressive. Not only Lisp, but the LaTeX as well. Had never seen anything like the formatting of section 8 before - mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.
- kazinator 10y agoIt is reminiscent to a syntax diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_diagram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_diagram If we google for "syntax diagram" or "railroad diagram" there are better examples, like this one: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uDoc4.gif https://i.stack.imgur.com/uDoc4.gif We see all the "railroad paths" through the syntactic combinations. Because it's not a recursive grammar, it's practical to unfold everything in one diagram. Instead of bubbles and arrows, he marked it up with LaTeX nested parentheses in 2D. The whole guide is somewhat similar in flavor to the cheat sheets in mathematics books (trig identities, derivatives, integrals, useful equations, and so on).
