Good morning everyone! I was wondering, is there any book or any other resource for someone to read the history of LISP dialects?

I'm waiting for @U050WRF8X to write one ;)

Panagiotis Mamatsis08:10:24

I'll be amongst the first to buy! :)

I haven't read any of the history of Lisps linked from here, but they might contain some of what you are looking for: http://www.ai.sri.com/~delacaze/alu-site/alu/table/history.htm

@U04V15CAJ If I could convince Paul McJones to write such a book with me then I'd be up for it. :)

The smile in my face is getting bigger. Have you tried?
