Lisp in a box - start quickly

Interested in learning lisp, or need to get started quickly? Check it out, quite a few people have said it helped them out.
- oditogre 19y agoI downloaded this a long time ago. I lost interest in lisp, but I keep it around at work and home because it makes a damn fine calculator, especially when you have a multi-step problem. You can just type it in in the order that you would say it out loud, whereas on a normal calculator (like calc.exe) you have to rearrange it to suit standard order of operations.
- Nicolay77 19y agoFunny, I started doing a lisp interpreter a while back and I have only got to the part where it makes a damn fine calculator. I believe my version is much handier than having to use Emacs.
- sohail 19y agoOr on Ubuntu: apt-get install slime sbcl emacs cl-asdf :-)

- rman666 19y ago@oditogre: That is truly one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Thanks for exploding my brain.
- icey 19y agoWhy aren't you just pointing your submissions to what you're linking directly? It seems like that's the way hyperlinked posts ought to work.
- mrtron 19y agoIf you put a link - you can't put a comment (or so I understand). Also this was more meant as a discussion, the link isn't the important part.
- jimbokun 19y agoIf you have a Mac, also consider Ready Lisp. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26203/ready-lisp http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26203/ready-lisp SBCL bundled with Aquamacs, a version of Emacs designed to integrate with the Mac interface (including Mac keyboard shortcuts).
- mrtron 19y agoI had a friend who was new to Lisp check it out - and they really liked how simple it was. So definitely a good option to get started.
