This Monday, at 18:30, Haifa Linux Club will once again gather to hear
Yoni Rabkin Katzenel talk about
LISP
Abstract:
"First we shall introduce symbolic, conditional and meta expressions and
their recursive definitions with the $\lambda$-notation. Then we will
briefly describe how such expressions might be represented by a computer.
We shall introduce the Lisp REPL and use it to explore a number of basic
Lisp paradigms such as closures, functional programming and Lisp macros.
Finally we shall look at the past and present of Lisp as a language."
For people who know Lisp the Lispy part will be less interesting since
this is only introductory level material, but the Lisp history part might
be interesting.
For people who do not know Lisp the history part might be slightly less
interesting but the Lispy part might be more interesting.
