Lisp seems to me like a language I could really come to respect. I
run linux (no windows, period) and I am comfortable with command-
line if I need to be. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what the
best way would be to learn lisp so that I can begin working on a
computer go program in it. I can't even figure out what the right
dielect would be for computer go.
Any of you out there using lisp want to maybe point me in the right
direction for how to learn this language as it applies to writing a
go program? Thanks.
1. You go with Common Lisp
In this case I'd prefer SBCL as an implementation (we recently had a
posting on this list comparing speeds of various Lisps, I think). And
then there's of course now way around Emacs! Especially as there's
SLIME [1] which is an excellent IDE (console, debugger,
documentation, ...)
2. You go with Scheme
I don't know much about Scheme, but there are some nice Scheme
implementations out there. PLT Scheme has a nice IDE. Gambit Scheme
and Chicken Scheme are supposed to be fast (they compile to C).
