Beyond Traditional Pattern Matching in Lisp (github.com/naver)
LispE, a modern Lisp dialect developed by Naver, introduces innovative constructs—defpat, defmacro, and defpred—that set it apart from traditional Lisp implementations like Common Lisp, Scheme, and Clojure.

Lisp in Your Language (danthedev.com)
I'm a fan of Lisp programming languages, but there's an incredible conceptual elegance that struggles to materialise as readable elegance for many unfamiliar programmers. The underlying concepts are incredibly simple, but the learning curve can represent a disproportionate challenge.

Lambda Calculus and Lisp, part 1 (babbagefiles.xyz)
The first of a series of envisioned blog posts on lambda calculus, and Lisp. It’s unclear exactly where to start: there is a whole heap of interesting issues, both theoretical and in terms of concrete implementations, which tangle and interconnect.

Using Guile for Emacs (lwn.net)
Emacs is, famously, an editor—perhaps far more—that is extensible using its own variant of the Lisp programming language, Emacs Lisp (or Elisp). This year's edition of EmacsConf, which is an annual "gathering" that has been held online for the past five years, had two separate talks on using a different variant of Lisp, Guile, for Emacs.

Bicameral, Not Homoiconic (parentheticallyspeaking.org)
If you spend enough time reading internet discussions of programming languages, you’ll learn that Lispy languages have a special property: they are homoiconic. This property is vested with mystical powers that both enrich Lisps and debase its competitors.

Making Sense of Lambda Calculus 0: Abstration, Reduction, Substitution? (aartaka.me)
I am a programmer. A Lisp programmer, in fact. I have a creeping desire to understand Lambda Calculus because it's a powerful and elegant tool and an inspiring idea underlying many functional languages and idioms. I use lambdas every day, without knowing their secret power. Might be useful to unleash this power and tame it for productivity.
