Learn you some Lisp for Great Good
summary
Over fifty years of language work stays active and experimental; examples include a weekend port of a Lisp to JavaScript and David Nolan reimplementing 1970s ideas. Live demos use a REPL to run Clojure code (range, filter, apply, count) to solve Project Euler’s sum of multiples problem and show libraries via the JVM. Tooling examples: DrRacket and Emacs Lisp with paredit. Clojure emphasizes immutability on the JVM to make concurrency easier.
