Just found this very neat interactive Lisp tutorial:
http://www.cs.tulane.edu/www/Villamil/lisp/lisp1.html
In under half an hour I know enough to understand what each line in my
.sawmillrc file means!
What I don't get yet is why lisp must have silly function names like
CAR, CDR and CONS instead of straightforward methods like Python's
indices: list[0], list[1:] and list.insert(0, value) (equivalent to the
three above).
Any lisp aware folks care to comment on this? Nagarjuna? I'm keen on
getting proficient with lisp for reasons of programming emacs and
sawfish.
