Find Your Way Through Lisp Labyrinth.



The programmer who wants to start using Lisp -- not because of practical reasons, but because he is intrigued with language itself -- is frequently in doubt where to start. I made one proposal he might follow; that proposal reflects my values - other Lisp users might make different proposals. I'd like to hear your comments.

  3. Nice, but I think newLisp could be even the "starting point" (instead of Scheme), since it contains some features that make more flexible. Many Lisp dialects sometimes are too "hard" to be appreciated by "traditional" programmers.
