- scruple 5y agoThanks for the recommendation. I've been learning/using CL, on the side, for about a year, in fits and starts, and I'm also picking up a lot of it's history and evolution along the way. I find the history of the thing is as fascinating as the language/tools. There's so much written on this but it's hard to aggregate and put together. Links lead to other links that lead to other links and oftentimes a lot of them are dead. So I'm glad that there are books like this that can preserve some pieces of the story.
