I’m a twentysomething coder living la vida loca on the southern coast of Spain. I work primarily with Ruby on Rails and Drupal, and dabble in the dark art of Lisp programming for my own amusement.
Lisp is the most sophisticated programming language I know. It is literally decades ahead of the competition … it is not possible (as far as I know) to actually use Lisp seriously before reaching the point of no return.

I enjoyed your “Road To Lisp Survey” a lot. I noticed you had implemented Life in JavaScript (I have an implementation on my website as well) and that you had Chris Okasaki’s “Purely Functional Data Structures” on your “to read” list. I have the book and it’s one of the next books that I’m going to go through soon. I would love to chat about ideas together as I go through it. Keep up the great posts and hope to hear from you soon. It seems we’ve been reading the same books too…
