8:49:57phoeminion: are you responding to everything with this alien function stuff

8:50:04minionphoe: direct your attention towards gentle: "Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" is a smoother introduction to lisp programming. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/
8:50:09beachOh, so it is Scheme rather than Common Lisp?
8:52:56minionLisp: "Lisp in Small Pieces". This book covers Lisp, Scheme and other related dialects, their interpretation, semantics and compilation. To sum it up in a few figures: 500 pages, 11 chapters, 11 interpreters and 2 compilers. <http://pagesperso-systeme.lip6.fr/Christian.Queinnec/WWW/LiSP.html>

11:46:17ldbI'd say if you're ok with C and CFFI bindings, suckless st is a clean term emulator implementation to start with
11:47:44contrapunctusDemosthenex: real Common Lispers hack in Climacs 😏
11:47:58ldbit should not be difficult to write one in pure CL with CLX library, by mimicking what st did
