HN comment orderIf you've seen the Lisp Koans in the past, you might want to revisit them someday. Around half a year ago I've rewritten[0] the original set of koans, fixed multiple correctness issues, added some content, and cleaned up the test framework; they now look much better than the original version. [0] https://github.com/google/lisp-koans/pull/111
Currently working through these to learn Common Lisp after being introduced to the language as part of a college CS class, can definitely recommend them along with Practical Common Lisp [0] and Let Over Lambda [1]. 0: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ 1: https://letoverlambda.com/
This is mildly interesting coming out of google because I thought lisp wasn't a google-approved language. (Yes, there are other projects on github in non-approved languages, but they appear mostly to allow 3rd party interop with google services. The educational nature of this project puts it in a slightly different category.)
I'm surprised to see that this is on Google's Github page. Do they have any projects (besides this) that use Common Lisp?
