- TeMPOraL 9y agoI have it and it's quite ok; very fun to read. I'd recommend it to people who want to jump into Common Lisp and lisps in general, who know at least one other programming language. That said, it's not as comprehensive as Practical Common Lisp - it covers a bit less of CL, and a bit more of interesting things you can do it.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoAppreciate the quick review. Maybe when I re-learn CL Ill use it since I have prior experience. Plus, I just remember it being super, geeky fun in terms of the writing and art.
- TeMPOraL 9y ago> Plus, I just remember it being super, geeky fun in terms of the writing and art. It is! Very fun in art, style and examples used! Has some funny hacks too, like one-page game written mostly in... format. (And for learning, a particularly useful thing is a two-page loop DSL reference.)
