I just saw these CLOS Papers on the Lispmeister website.

Highly recommended reading if you do any object oriented stuff.

After reading through just the ECOOP paper, my brain is going “yowza”. I’m going through the Successful Lisp tutorial to try to get myself up to speed on LISP so that I can actually try out some of this CLOS stuff, but man - this stuff looks really really nice.

The last couple weeks of hacking on Python with the weird mix of metaclasses, properties and the magic underscore methods have me rethinking my ideas of what I want in my programming language. The main thing I want is for my language to be reprogrammable.

Any Python folks out there that have switched to LISP? Or vice versa? I’d love to hear any firsthand experiences.

Anyway - I must read faster. This LISP stuff looks mighty tasty.
