I have to admit I'm probably going to love this quite a bit. I'm a sysadmin who has dabbled in scripting languages and a little bit of c, python, and perl, but other than that my programming always kinda scared me off. I read the wizard book for the first time last year and it has absolutely helped me gain a new understanding of just about everything I do in daily work and has helped remove my programming fears. If they do more work on the built in interpreter I will probably go through it a time or two more.
- zodiac 13y agoHello! I'm the author - what improvements would you like to see in the built-in interpreter?
- arca_vorago 13y agoI really don't have any major complaints, at first noscript was messing up things but everything works afterwards so far. One idea though, where you have the green box that can be hidden, it would be nice to have an interpreter box there, to mess around with as one goes through (and keep it persistent between pages). That way, if someone just wants to mess with the text already entered on the page, they can, but if they are like me and like retyping things (a form of mental note-taking) they could do that too. I know at first the main issue I found with lisp was that I didn't know how to get an environment going to just mess around with, and having something like that might be useful to provide a standalone from the iSICP (or it might not). Overall, very impressive, good stuff.
