My highschool math teacher spent two classes proving Goedel's incompleteness theorem to us, so this was really cool to see in programming form.
Besides that though, I finally understand what LISP is all about. I've never worked with LISP before, and his explanation of LISP as manipulating sets blew my mind!
Does anyone have any LISP tutorials they recommend? I did a quick search and came up with loads, but it's hard to tell if they're good right off the bat.
- phsr 17y agoMIT's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming is in LISP (Scheme to be exact) All the lectures and course materials are under Creative Commons. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-001Spring-2005/CourseHome/index.htm http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Compute...

- gruseom 17y agoThere was a concerted effort by Lispers a year or two ago to get it so that Peter Seibel's book would come up first if you Google for "lisp tutorial". I believe it still does, and it's very good.
- zck 17y agoNot to pg-fanboy out too much, but I really like his ANSI Common Lisp: http://www.paulgraham.com/acl.html http://www.paulgraham.com/acl.html . It's not the newest thing on the market, but is quite good. Obviously, it's a book, so you'd have to buy or borrow it. Also, Arc has a tutorial online: http://ycombinator.com/arc/tut.txt http://ycombinator.com/arc/tut.txt
