Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, or SICP, is widely considered one of the most influential texts in computer science education. If you believe Peter Norvig, . MIT Scheme, a minimalist dialect of Lisp, is used for all code examples and exercises.
Clojure is a “modern” Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. Its speed, easy access to Java libraries, and focus on concurrency make it an appealing language for many applications.

You should not be here yet.
Actually, you’re more than welcome to look around. I’ll avoid putting up any gifs of traffic cones and stop signs, but this site is very much under construction, and is nowhere near the point of being useful yet. It’s quite slow as well, since I have disabled all performance optimizations for development purposes. If you’re interested, take a look at the status page for a better idea of where things stand.
