Among the most educational experiences of my life was writing my own LISP interpreter. I had read about it in a magazine, perhaps Scientific American, and it seemed so natural and excellent. A few years later I had the use of a Wang computer with a built-in BASIC and a grand total of 8K bytes of memory. (That’s 8,000 with three zeros.) During the course of working it out, I had a grand illume that revealed the whole meaning of evaluation. It was like I should have jumped up and danced around singing The Rain in Spain or whatever. In retrospect that was the whole point of the exercise, and I would have glibly avoided confronting it in a course. I couldn’t do any ambitious AI projects with my interpreter, but it’s possible to work some simple puzzles if you have garbage collection.

Anonymous,

I wouldn’t try to compare Java/C# directly to Lisp/Scheme; the two types of languages are complimentary. Java/C# are very productive for the typical “bread and butter” programming tasks common in the industry today. But learning lisp is something you will never regret, because it improves your ability to think logically. I’m not kidding about this — learning Java is like learning to build a house or repair a car, and learning assembler language is like getting a crash course in CPU architecture — but learning lisp is like learning a new way to think, and it will enrich many areas of your life. Of course, you could take a few classes in predicate logic or read the Copi book instead; but for many people learning lisp is a good way to drill the concepts into the subconscious. I honestly think that all 12 year-old kids should be taught lisp, just for the positive effect in rewiring the brain.

Re: eclipse CL plugin…

I put together a Scheme plugin for Eclipse based on JScheme at http://www.zclipse.org/projects/jscheme

As everyone pointed out, Lisp is cool and a pleasure to work with but it lacks standards things around as you have with java or php… You should have a look at XSLT :=) Basically it is a “kind of” functionnal langage to script web pages and used by tons of apps…
