Just as I was thinking to myself that it might be fun to play around with Lisp again, this shows up in my news ticker. Coincidence?

There was a repost of Peter Norvig's lisp interpreter in python a week ago too:

That came just around the time I was struggling with my "real" language, and switched to working on this lisp compiler.

Sometimes timing works out well to inspire!

Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - I also starting writing a Lisp interpreter in Python. I also called it Lispy. This time, the coincidence is less remarkable though, as the word play just sits there, begging to be played.
