Lisp user and general author of unpopular opinions, here. There's certain amount of "eye rolling" that greets these "I wrote a Lisp interpreter" articles, because 1. Lisp interpreters are incredibly simple and uninteresting, and 2. Lisp compilers have been around for more than 60 years now http://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Programmers_Manual_Mar60.pdf http://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Programmers_Man.... It would be more interesting if you wrote a Lisp compiler in C++ which included a REPL, or even compiled Lisp to C++. Also, a Lisp user would never write code like this: )) )) Lastly, seeing Lisp interpreters still being blabbed about perpetuates the untrue meme that Lisp is inherently slow, or ugh interpreted. Which is sad.
