Phil Dawes' Stuff: Understood vs Learnt

  • Tom · 3 years ago
    What implementation are you doing the examples in?
  • Phil Dawes · 3 years ago
    To be honest I haven't needed to try stuff much - the answers are pretty easy to follow and it's usually the underlying pattern or concept that's important rather than seeing running code.
    (and I understand that the original little LISPer book was written using an un-implemented dialect of lisp - can anybody confirm/deny?)

    That said, I've been playing with gambit, bigloo and sisc (scheme in java) a bit recently.
    Gambit is especially interesting to me because of the parallel computing possibilities of termite. (I never really got on very well with erlang's syntax)
