Comment on Little Lisp interpreter

Comments

Who needs a toy lisp? Can't we just lisp for real?

Edit: Ok, ok. Now that the title of submission has been changed from "Toy Lisp Interpreter" to "Little Lisp Interpreter" my quip, having lost context doesn't make me smile anymore either.

As a learning experience is excellent. Lisp family languages are great for this since they are turing complete and with a pretty simple syntax.

Under the aesthetics of logic, I find Lisp's syntax pretty as well.
