Easy to compile (most implementations of Lisp are written almost or entirely in Lisp, and the “reference” implementations usually include a compiler – see Sussmann's Scheme book or 'LiSP in Small Pieces' for examples). One of the best approach to language implementation I ever came across! Described as 'mind blowing' by some – particular highlights include the ycombinator and the metacircular interpreter. Christian Queinnec, Lisp in Small Pieces. I've struggled to find decent chunks of Lisp in Small pieces in Clojure code online. The great idea of quotation at least traces back to Lisp, where program is also a kind of data – the execution behavior of a piece of program is completely controllable by the user, just treat it as input data and write a custom evaluator for it. €�One of my New Year's goals is to re-read Lisp in Small Pieces and implement all 11 interpreters and 2 compilers.
