One Divide, Four Lisps

Table of Contents

A draft for the proposal shelf. Not submitted anywhere. Status: New, from the review.

1. Pitch

(half 5) is 5/2 in three Lisps and 2.5 in the fourth.

2. Abstract

One introductory text retold in Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Hy. A single division shows most of what each dialect buys a student, read off running code in four REPLs side by side.

3. Audience, format, venue

Audience
Lisp meetups; educators.
Format
Lightning, or a 20-minute meetup talk.
Where
Boston Lisp, ELS lightning, an education slot at a Clojure conference.
