True, I have Scheme, Racket, and Clojure installed on my machine. I tried to get started, but I couldn't think of any simple projects that would accentuate the "uniqueness" of Lisp dialects.
Maybe I'll pick it up again after my love affair with Go dries up.
- giancarlostoro 11y agoNot sure if games interest you, but "Realm of Racket" is a fun read to get into Racket with. I mostly got into the rest of Lisp because I liked Racket.
- joshuapants 11y agoI'll second that, it's a great book. Sort of a cousin to Land of Lisp, simultaneously a bit more academic and a bit more gentle to newcomers.
- fao_ 11y agoDoes it have to be unique? A small project that you use now and then that needs an upgrade would probably benefit from being written in lisp (in some manner).
- agumonkey 11y agomaybe take the https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang MOOC at one point you write a small evaluator, then extend it through macros. Shows you how to get the linguistic trait you'd like in a few lines. One thing lisp has been used to demonstrate since its birth. (the course uses ruby and sml for other subjects)
