As someone who has worked on various Lisp implementations over time, as well as programmed in Lisp, C, C++, Java, and several other programming languages, I feel vaguely knowledgeable enough to give a pretty harsh review of this book. First off: God help you if you are going to write your first interpreter in C of all things. No one I know thinks it’s a good idea to start inventing a programming language, which perhaps is one of the more ill-defined and bug-prone things you can do, with an implementation in C. So the premise is already a bad
