No.


"No"? Why is this being upvoted? I'd like to hear his reasons. "No" is not enough to spark the kind of meaningful discussion I've come to expect from HN.


What??? What's this doing here? I was just at Reddit, thank you very much.


It's an excellent text to be sure, but I wouldn't call it advanced. PCL was the the first real Lisp text I read, and I found it to be a superb introduction to the subject.


Just a clarification. I was referring to PG "On Lisp" as advanced. Not PCL. "On Lisp" is mostly about complex uses of macros. Hence the name -- programming "On" lisp instead of programming in lisp


It's absurdly hideous. I would be embarrassed to carry that.


Whether it's interesting in its own right or not is not the issue. The subject matter is of a political nature, and doesn't really afffect or concern the technical community moreso than any other demographic group. Shouldn't this sort of thing be left to mainstream sites? In any event, most readers proably check other news sites, so this just seems redundant.
