My way of learning about Lisp was based on first principles, after reading Norvigs blogpost many times and working through SICP. What helped is that I had just finished the nand2tetris book, which is very much a first principles speedrun of how a computer works.

So I built my own Lisp machine based on the nand2tetris architecture, with lisp instructions supported on the simulated chip level. I'm currently in the progress of doing a writeup of the project, you can see my attempts here if you are interested: https://deosjr.github.io/

I have an almost working version of a REPL running on the machine now, including garbage collection and parsing Lisp with Lisp and passing the output to an eval function written in assembly (the operating system, if you will).
