screwlisp


I wrote a short description of how lisp is coded by writing lisp sequences (lists), and the low level dotted cons view of the lists.

I wrote a funny piece of lisp that outputs a lower triangular emacs orgmode matrix depiction of a lisp form.

medium.com/@screwlisp/lisp-cod

Which leaves me wondering, does anyone "use" or otherwise think about (a . (b . NIL)) the dotted cons way of writing lists while programming?

An emacs window. It's an orgmode document, where the lisp form '(let ((count 0) (stream t)) (lambda () (print (incf count) stream)))) has been turned into a lower triangular matrix of lisp atoms organized by a column of dots following a cell containing opening brackets.
