Channel: Alone in the Kitchen — by Nino Ivanov

Exploring a non-Common-Lisp variant of a small #LISP for #homecomputers. Unusually, LISP is getting permanently compared to #BASIC . Despite the narrow extent of this #programming language variant (very Acorn-ish), the author does show LISP's advantages in processing tree-like and list-oriented data structures, and demonstrates in a very beginner-oriented way simple LISP concepts. Despite the title, Artificial Intelligence is brushed upon only very peripherically.
