i think this article is great, i read it, then downloaded the source to jscheme, and ported a portion of it to ruby. then i understood more about how lisp works, i got to a working repl that had + implemented. http://berlinbrowndev.blogspot.com/2008/07/simple-lisp-implementation-in-java-ode.html http://berlinbrowndev.blogspot.com/2008/07/simple-lisp-imple... then half a year later I thought what the hell and sneaked in a production app written in clojure to one of our tomcats. for me learning something new is always about porting it to something familiar to grok the basics and then force myself to write real code, then there's no avoidance of those important details
