@haitchfive The book is mind bending, even more than On Lisp.
@amoroso @haitchfive I forget just when I read _Let Over Lambda_, and I'm certain I was pretty much lost by the time I got to the last half or third, but I loved reading it. Although I never wrote a lot of lisp, the ability to breed a language to express exactly what you wanted to say was always fascinating to me.
@DaleHagglund I'm not sure I would use the techniques the book presents as they are, but the way they work can be an inspiration for more ordinary code.
@amoroso Amazing!
