You can put orders in for Peter Seibel's Practical Common Lisp through Amazon already despite the fact that Peter hasn't finished writing it. Oddly, Amazon UK's listing has a slightly different cover.
Posted by jjwiseman at June 16, 2004 04:08 PMI meant to comment on this a while back. The last line of the Amazon description of _Practical Common Lisp_ is:
"LISP's ability to compute with symbolic expressions like those used in language processing makes it convenient for AI applications."
I thought the point of this book was to get away from the notion that Lisp was an AI language?
The rest of the description is good stuff -- streaming mp3s, MySQL integration, web services. It's just the last line that gets me.
