Description

Lisp in Small Pieces by Cambridge University Press provides a comprehensive account of the semantics and implementation of the Lisp family of languages. This text covers Lisp, Scheme, and related dialects in depth. It details 11 interpreters and 2 compilers, incorporating recent techniques for both interpretation and compilation. The book is organized into two distinct parts. The first section begins with a simple evaluation function and expands it to include multiple name spaces, continuations, and side-effects. Throughout this process, the language used to define these features is reduced to a simple lambda-calculus. The text then naturally introduces denotational semantics, making it a thorough resource for understanding programming language implementation.

Key Features

This Cambridge University Press book covers the full Lisp family including Lisp, Scheme, and related dialects.

The text provides detailed accounts of 11 interpreters and 2 compilers to explain language implementation.

Readers can study recent techniques for both interpretation and compilation within the Lisp family.

The first part of the book explains how to enrich evaluation functions with multiple name spaces and continuations.

The content includes a natural introduction to denotational semantics for a complete understanding of the subject.
