It is not just like Land of Lisp, it seems to be just Land of Lisp ported to Racket by a group of students supervised by Conrad Barski and Matthias Felleisen. Barski and Felleisen arent even credited as the primary authors of the book.
- matthias_f 13y agoRealm of Racket (ROAR) is not a translation of Land of Lisp, but it is heavily inspired by LOL. Our emphasis is on readers who have done some programming, possibly in Racket-based teaching languages but not necessarily so, and who wish to see the beginnings of Racket. You may wish to check out the sample chapter on Hungry Henry and compare ROAR to LOL before you buy. Or borrow the book from a friend to see how ROAR ends in a chapter on #lang. The author team really consists of eight students and two 'old' people: David Van Horn and myself. As is tradition in my lab, young people go first and 'old' people come last on an author list. Everyone knows us already anyway. Enjoy! -- Matthias
