Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc,informally-specified,bug-ridden,slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.
问题是,
>你会认为Perl翻译是真的吗？只有客观论点(例如,Common Lisp的哪些功能在解释器中实现)
>独立地,是否存在完全在Perl中实现的Lisp(或者至少是一个临时的,非正式指定的,错误驱动的,一半Common Lisp的慢速实现)？
If you pick up a good book about Lisp,there will be a section that describes Lisp’s good features. For example,the book Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming,by Peter Norvig,includes a section titled What Makes Lisp Different? that describes seven features of Lisp. Perl shares six of these features; …
Mark has many other things to say about Lisp and Perl
