I don't really have a good answer as to how much experience is needed, but I do know I wish I had attempted it earlier.

My suggestion: Just try and see how it goes. If you find it too overwhelming, don't worry, you can always revisit the concepts later.

I didn't write the tutorial with novice programmers in mind, so I can't promise everything will be explained as you need. But still, if you do try, I'd love to hear your experiences.

Are you the author? If you email me, if I get some free time and get going on this, I'll happily keep you informed. Also, looks like I'll be building a Lisp? That's pretty exciting, since I've wanted to try to learn one for a while now, but was always scared off by the syntax.

Yes, I'm the author. You'll find my contact info at the frontpage of the blog. Please, send my any feedback :)

The language is a simplified variant of Lisp. This is just a toy language, so a lot of things from a real Lisp will be missing, but I think there's enough to give you a sense of the core of the language. Actually, this version isn't too far off from the original Lisp written by John McCarthy over 55 years ago.
