As a #Lisp fan, I was sold on this book as soon as I read the back cover blurb, and just had to get myself a copy. Can’t wait to dive in! (I’m very curious about the #Forth connection too)

Parts of it are also available online: letoverlambda.com/

The promise of being 'the most hardcore' plus the #Forth connection were too great a temptation to resist. Just ordered one myself!

Doug Hoyte's perspective on macros as the prime source of Lisp's interest and power is eye-opening for me. By middle of Ch.3, already I can see this book will reward every effort I put into reading it. #macros #lisp

A quote from the book that I think you'll like, @ChristosArgyrop :

"If lisp is the result of taking syntax away, Perl is the result of taking syntax all the way." [p.342]
#lisp #perl
