Otherwise I would be hard pressed to choose something like The Art of the Metaobject Protocol, The wizard book, or maybe Lisp In Small Pieces. I am actually selling these items so I can pay Dreamhost for another year of hosting, so it's for a good cause. See “Lisp in Small Pieces” or “Implementing Elliptic Curve Cryptography” for real literate programs as books. My faithful readers, will get to see them first. I have developed what I call the “Hawaii” test for a good literate program. The great idea of quotation at least traces back to Lisp, where program is also a kind of data – the execution behavior of a piece of program is completely controllable by the user, just treat it as input data and write a custom evaluator for it. The default Lisp evaluator is eval, we can easily write a Remember F# has a rich set of syntax while a domain language takes a small subset of it is usually enough expressive. This entry was posted in Book by tkg. I'm actually not that fond of TAOCP. Writing a recursive function to perform that calculation is pretty straight forward, and once we put all of these pieces together in our create-world routine, we have a working proof of concept. The following code snipped from the REPL prompt We're glossing over a few details here, but if you have a little experience working with Lisp then you should have a pretty good idea of how to implement the above. Chapter 5 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and chapter 7 of Lisp in Small Pieces both present byte-code interpreting virtual machines for Scheme that are implemented in Scheme. Now, the programming concepts book that I really want would be the successor to Lisp in Small Pieces (ISBN 0-521-56247-3), but AFAICT, it hasn't been finished.
