在《黑客与漫画》中，Paul graham提到什么才是最好的编程语言，Lisp和C被明显的提及，对可谓是Lisp是推崇备至。最近准备看SICP，于是学一下极具逼格的Lisp。
The basic, if primitive, way to get Lisp running is to install a command-line Lisp system. This works especially well if you have a UNIX system (OS X or Linux). Command-line Lisps include:
SBCL is a recent revision of CMUCL with new modifications and additions.I recommend SBCL as the best command-line Lisp. However, SBCL is very verbose and warning-filled though, which can get quite annoying. On the Mac, if you prefer a quieter, more forgiving, and decently fast Lisp, try CCL or MCL.
CLISP is a good Common Lisp, and is highly portable to nearly every environment out there. However, the reason it is portable is that it compiles to a bytecode interpreter rather than to machine code, and so it‘s pretty slow.
MCL is a freeware command-line-only version of Macintosh Common Lisp, which runs under MacOS X nicely. It is much faster than CLISP on the Mac, but its debugging facilities are primitive.
CCL, or Clozure CL, was a fork of MCL way back when but now is a high-performance Lisp implementation in its own right, and runs on a lot of different platforms. If you‘re getting annoyed at SBCL‘s verbosity, try CCL.
CMUCL is a first-rate Common Lisp, but it is not available on all platforms. CMUCL is the system from which SBCL sprang.
If you‘re interested in playing around with it, ABCL is a Common Lisp implementation which runs on the Java VM. Note that it‘s not particularly fast (yet).
这里推荐使用SBCL。其它的嘛，自己看吧。。。我下了两个，一个SBCL，一个CLISP。
linux下面，检测好自己预先装了SBCL，
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ which sbcl /usr/bin/sbcl
如果没有装
sudo apt-get install sbcl
第一个Lisp程序，你一定猜得到
在当前文件夹下编辑
vim ./hello.lisp
(princ "hello world!")
然后进入sbcl
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ vim ./hello.lisp
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sbcl
This is SBCL 1.1.1.0.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

* (load "hello.lisp")
hello world!
T
一切从这里开始，hello world。
一切在这里结束，EOF
