There's closures and there's being able to transform the expression tree. Graham's On Lisp is a really interesting book https://paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html which is allegedly about programming with macros but I'd say 80% of the time he implements something with closures and then makes a macro-based implementation that peforms better. That 80% can be done in Python and the other 20% you wouldn't want to do in Python because Python already has those features... And if you wanted to implement meta-objects in Python you would do it Pythonically. Graham unfortunately doesn't work any examples that involve complex transformations on the expression trees because these are hard and if you want to work that hard you're better off looking at the Dragon book. You can work almost all the examples in Norvig's Common Lisp book https://www.amazon.com/Paradigms-Artificial-Intelligence-Pro... in Python and today Norvig would advocate that you do. |
