Book tip: read AMOP. Anybody thinking about object systems in Lisp owes it to themself to read this. Alan Kay was right: it was the most important book of the decade. AMOP does for object systems what SICP does for function calls.

How to explain it in a couple sentences? Hmm… The brilliance of Lisp is that it’s written in Lisp. The brilliance of CLOS is that it’s written in CLOS. (And it’s not really that complex.) An object system written as a single hash table feels like trying to say “Fortran + closures = Common Lisp!”.

glardo, most people aren’t even programming computers today in the way that McCarthy et al were fifty years ago… how else can we explain that whilst batch-mode OSes have gone the way of the dodo, batch-mode programming languages are still being proclaimed as cutting edge?
