For someone who knows nothing about Lisp I found this an excellent article.

Motivates me to learn more about Lisp (and Clojure)

This is the very definition of "scratching your own itch" lol.

Very inspiring and I applaud your efforts.

I haven't written assembler in years but this inspires me to do a small project for the fun of it.

I started programming in 1978 (In Assembler) and wanted to know not only how the software worked but how the hardware worked.

Found a great kit using the Z80 and built it and spent many nights with a logic probe and oscilloscope learning digital eletronics. Also devoured the Z80 manual learning the instruction set.

I'm nearly 70 now but remember those days like they were yesterday.

Truly a magnificent CPU
