Comment on Ask HN: What does a developer need to know to build their own Lisp from scratch?parent

Comments

This is the best resource I've found as well, for creating a lisp from scratch. Thanks to mal, I created my own lisp in JavaScript in just a week of coding in my free time! Granted, I write Clojure every day for the last years, but I don't think it's really required, but certainly made it easier.

mal has also been "featured" on HN a couple of times in the past. Here are some discussions:

- 2017 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15226110

- 2019 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21670442

- 2021 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26924344

According to the schedule, we're bound for another frontpage feature of mal in 2023, looking forward to it :)
