Now, the programming concepts book that I really want would be the successor to Lisp in Small Pieces (ISBN 0-521-56247-3), but AFAICT, it hasn't been finished. Lisp in Small Pieces Computer Science Programming Languages Lisp Christian Queinnec Cambridge University Press New Ed edition. Lisp in Small Pieces builds entire compilers ;; based upon this idea. Today I made the first order – “Lisp in Small Pieces” – it's just the kind of book to buy as a special present to myself. I doubt I would agree to shell out the $80 it costs had I not had the RAC money in PayPal already. (I hope to understand "Lisp in Small Pieces" someday. The book is no longer listed with a price, nor is it listed as available, except from other sellers. Homoiconicity is what makes lisp so appealing to me, ;; far more than most other languages. I have developed what I call the “Hawaii” test for a good literate program. See “Lisp in Small Pieces” or “Implementing Elliptic Curve Cryptography” for real literate programs as books. It looks like the Lisp In Small Pieces for $3.95 craze has met its end. While I have started reading Lisp in Small Pieces, it hasn't had quite the impact on me. This entry was posted in Book by tkg. McCarthy He does a great job in Lisp in Small Pieces, but it's building on the foundation that McCarthy layed down.

In other words, it is not really about truly building models. Lisp in Small Pieces is like that; it's more about a cute way to teach things that bends the mind than having fun in exploring design trade-offs. Building a Lisp compiler (and environment) can be quite different from building a C or Pascal compiler.
