- pcr910303 7y agoI’m pretty sure it’s because the lisp that book makes isn’t an exact lisp; There are many features lacking and some fundamental concepts are wrongly implemented; However for developing C skills, it’s pretty good. Wouldn’t recommend learning Lisp with that though.
- max_wen 7y agooh you're correct it is meant to develop C skills not learn Lisp
- kazinator 7y agoThe 900-something lines of C code documented by the book Interpreting Lisp, which can now be found on Github, is not something I would recommend for teaching C beginners. From a best practices point of view, it is pretty awful. https://github.com/Apress/interpreting-lisp https://github.com/Apress/interpreting-lisp
