FYI, the Homebrew formula to install CLISP on Mac OS X is at http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/2707 If the formula works well, please comment there and suggest the authors accept my pull request. (If not, I ll be very happy to help.)

Congratulations on getting the book out (and for the 30% off you gave me)! My only question so far is about the comic...what's the point of the 3 panels in the training facility? Is the 'hug' joke supposed to be funny?
I was trying to make fun of the Wii controller... oh well, you can't win them all...
Hi HNers- I'm Conrad (aka drcode) the author of said book. Thanks guys for helping build the buzz around LOL! (I should also thank pg for getting me into this stuff in the first place.) I'll be lurking in this thread today and tomorrow... feel free to post any questions about the book or about Lisp in general and I will answer them. Here's the only coupon code currently for the book. I'm posting it exclusively on HN…
Hah this is awesome. Not only from a coding perspective, but from one artist to another - congrats. I really enjoyed that comic about Lisp fleet. Comic also exposes one nasty thing about it - there is no single implementation that has all of the fleet's features. Do you recommend some specific implementation to go with your book? Anyways, first check that comes in November and I'm buying. Congrats on your project onc…

Hi fogus -Sorry I couldn't make it to Clojure Conj... liked your slides. My philosophy of marketing is that you need to do something different that no one else has done before to attract attention. There wasn't a programming book with a music video yet, so I exploited that fact :) But of course, there's still plenty other ideas that could be used to market other books/sites...
You're doing a great job. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I hope to see you at a future Captial Area Clojure UG ( http://www.meetup.com/Cap-Clug/ ). Do you think you would be up for discussing the Clojure-bits (well, all and any bits are just as good too) of your book one day?

It depends on 'libiconv', which is not part of master.

I think Common Lisp, Scheme, and Clojure each have a lot to offer. I wish there was one perfect Lisp :)
I think it was Appel who had a funny proof for the non-existence of the Perfect Compiler, it can be applied to Lisp quite easily. FWIW, the proof used the halting problem and went like this. Assume there is a an unoptimized program that, when ran, would go through a series of motions but ultimately halt without any useful output or side-effect. Assume there existed a perfect compiler, PC; that compiler would need to…
