Got it. Strange, that's the link google search gives me. Also, it shows me price for Ukraine (where I am)

Thanks for the feedback! I recognize the deficiencies of my English writing. Moreover, the current state of the book is, in fact, much-much better than the original manuscript than…

sorry, can you elaborate on that? (I'm affraid I didn't understand the question)

there's an interesting recent video on the differences between Cl and Clojure here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Q9ew9JH_U

Not much. I have summarized all the updates here: http://lisp-univ-etc.blogspot.com/2021/02/programming-algori...

You're quite right that SICP is about the fundamentals. Progalgs is about writing efficient programs. It's for those who already understand the fundamentals.

thanks for the feedback!

In the preface, I discuss a bit the topic of how algorithms are taught in the universities versus how they are actually used. I made a choice to lean heavily towards the "practical…

More of the second: i.e. teach algorithms using Lisp. The secondary goal is to get people more accustomed with Lisp.

Hi, I'm the author. For those who haven't heard about the book yet: it is a practical description of the main data structures and algorithms in use today. The book is also featurin…

Yes, I plan to have a paperback version for $20+shipment. If you send me an email to vseloved@gmail.com I'll include you in the distribution (and send the details on how to pay and…

thanks for the notice (my typing habit is such that I often don't press the keys hard enough which results in missing letters - easy to see thanks to the spellcheckers when a norma…

It depends on what you code and how. I hope the book explains some of the approaches and describes the tools that can be used to reduce that difference and avoid a tragedy :)

There's a pretty good overview in this writeup (which is the most recent one): https://ambrevar.xyz/modern-common-lisp/index.html

I examined Union-Find in more detail and found the critical flaw in my description that you were pointing too. Unfortunately, I forgot about it and had a simplified view of this da…

Sorry, getting back to the initial point: can you point to a statement in the standard that forbids assigning to symbol-function of keywords or dims it unspecified behavior? I see …

thanks for pointing this out

This was already discussed in great detail (greater than such minor thing should be) in the comments to the first and next chapter. And, by the way, Lispworks also allows it (see h…
