The title "Lisp from nothing"
doesn't seem to fit with:
"INTENDED AUDIENCE
This is not an introduction to LISP."
on page 10.
- gentooflux 1y agoNothing as in "from scratch", as opposed to Nothing as in "Visual Basic's NULL".
- nils-m-holm 1y agoYes, the book is about the bootstrapping of LISP, both in a historical and practical context. Hence "from nothing".
- kazinator 1y agoWould you also think that "Energy from Nothing" must be an introductory physics text? :)
