For Windows I arrived at http://lispcabinet.sourceforge.net/. It's some kind of "fire-and-forget"-installer. It comes with Emacs and during the install-routine you can choose to install additional Lisps, no other configuration required. I run it under Windows 7 64bit.

Ah I got it. The desciption about apply was a little unclear, I looked it up elsewhere. Apply uses the "contents" of the list as input for the provided function, which in my case is equivalent to calling (append '((3 . 28) (28 . 3)) '((10 . 30) (30 . 10))).

Hi, I'm sitting here starting at the book "Land of Lisp" while trying to figure out some "strange" behaviour. There is a function calle make-edge-list, there is nothing wrong with it the function works but there is a little thing I don't understand. (defun make-edge-list() (apply...

If takeoutSecond has to remove the second match, why wouldn't you do something like the following?
EDIT: Ah! You just want do delete the second while leaving the first one untouched. Well than forget my writings, I was wrong.

IMHO there are not many good IDE choices for Lisp out there. If you have not found it yet you should visit www.cliki.net. This wiki is my current "knowledge base" for Lisp, it containts many useful links and information about Lisp.

Hi I'm also a beginner. I started with Lisp a few days ago. For my experiments I choose Common Lisp and CLISP. Because I have a strong Java Background I use Eclipse as my IDE of choice with a simple plugin called "dandelion" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dandelion-ecl/). You just need t...

I think I got it now. I saw "too much" which wasn't really there. In my example CAR returns the list it is pointing to, which is the first element of the "parent"-list. CDR returns a list containing the rest where the first element happens to be a list. Thats it nothing special a...

Why is it a "list of lists" and not just a single list like the result after applying car? Why would you expect it to be? CDR when applied to a list gives you a list without the first element of the list. Why I would expect it to be, is because if I apply "tail" onto a list I'd ...

Hi, this might be a silly question but I miss something and do not know what it is. I'm using the CLISP interpreter for my "experiments". Given the list of lists ((a b c) (d e f)) and after applying car/cdr the output looks like the following. > (car '((a b c) (d e f))) > (A B C) > (cdr '(...
