This is what I love about Amazon: They know that they can't make "one device to rule them all", so they've simply focused on making Kindle available everywhere . Very often when people talk about Kindle vs. iPad, they actually talk about K

You're telling me that "grok" isn't a normal English verb either? What a sad day :-(

I upvoted this, but only because it proves that even Lispers can be as closed-minded as anyone else. Lisp is often shown as an example of how "enlighten" you'll get when you understand it, but clearly that doesn't necessarily mean you're op

Heist is definitely one of the better-designed interpreter I've seen. I've been a James Coglan-fan ever since I stumbled upon it! He also has an excellent video where he creates a Scheme interpreter in 15 minutes (no sound unfortunately):
