2009-10-25 Sunday - Common Lisp

In my study of the Scala language, I've taken a slight detour to spend some time learning the CLISP implementation of Common Lisp, which I think will help me to better understand Scala itself (as well as fundamental concepts of any Functional Language).

Here are some of the resource links that I've found useful:

This is Abhishek Reddy's really well written, concise, summary of the the features in Common Lisp: http://abhishek.geek.nz/docs/features-of-common-lisp

...as well as his: http://abhishek.geek.nz/docs/lisp-answers/


Although not specific to Scala or Lisp, I enjoyed reading this 376 page text...
