I Love Lisp

Comments (-)

Lisp is still my favorite programming language. 6.001 is still one of my favorite classes. Parentheses are my friend.

Thanks Shawn.

If you were cooler you would love Scheme.

  I know for a fact that 6.001 used Scheme and not Lisp. I also know that I couldn't describe the differences and suspect that Brad couldn't either.
  
  It would almost be fun to re-experience “The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs” AKA 6.001.

  Steve is correct – 6.001 used Scheme so I guess I love Scheme also.

Ever tried Standard ML? She can be highly critical (to the point of cruelty), but she'll always have my heart

  Never heard of Standard ML. I just looked it up on Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_ml - interesting.

I'm definitely with you. I love how Lisp and it's recursion-hungry heart can make for some beautiful and elegant answers to complicated problems.

I just found out from a reader that 6.001 is no more – http://www-tech.mit.edu/V126/N63/63course6.html. Deep sadness. Good hacks though. http://ericschmiedl.com/hacks/index15.html

Lisp was my first professional coding language when I started my career in 1987 (man, I'm old). There were perks to working for the “Intelligence Community”.
