A few years ago I wrote a minimal lisp in erlang using pg's paper. I called it erlisp[1]. I did it in order to learn Erlang while reading the original Seven Languages in Seven Weeks book.
If you want to learn the basics of a language, I highly recommend writing a lisp in it using only the Roots of Lisp paper and the target language's reference guide. It's a fun challenge.

- oubiwann 12y agoThat's very cool :-) I think rvirding would approve ;-) Did you ever check out LFE afterwards. to compare your approach with Robert's?
- rvirding 12y agoYes, implementing languages is fun, implementing lisp doubly so.
