So one would expect that the probability of buying the "Blue Book" given a purchase of the "Lisp in Small Pieces" would be much higher than the probability of purchasing Harry Potter. I find The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer to be very good complements to SICP and I recommend them wholeheartedly for everyone. Chapter 5 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and chapter 7 of Lisp in Small Pieces both present byte-code interpreting virtual machines for Scheme that are implemented in Scheme. This entry was posted in Book by tkg. See "http://daly.axiom-developer.org/litprog.html" for an example using HTML. The great idea of quotation at least traces back to Lisp, where program is also a kind of data – the execution behavior of a piece of program is completely controllable by the user, just treat it as input data and write a custom evaluator for it. The Hawaii test is the key criteria to measure whether your literate program is successful. Now, the programming concepts book that I really want would be the successor to Lisp in Small Pieces (ISBN 0-521-56247-3), but AFAICT, it hasn't been finished. The default Lisp evaluator is eval, we can easily write a Remember F# has a rich set of syntax while a domain language takes a small subset of it is usually enough expressive. See "Lisp in Small Pieces" for a great example.
