Comment on Little Lisp interpreter

Comments

Is there some reason why every code segment inside not one but two scrolling frames?

And does anyone else dislike web design that (1) limits the text to a column a third of the page wide, and then (2) because this is too small, requires a horizontal scrollbar on code segments?

For an explanation of a small Lisp interpreter (in Python) that uses sane web design, one might consider Norvig's http://norvig.com/lispy.html

Thanks for pointing that out. The double-scrollbar was a CSS bug which was only showing up in some browsers. It should be fixed now.

I agree this page should be wider for posts like this.

At first I thought it was some play on recursion and though "neat", but then I realised it was probably just an error...
