The code in this +repository is written for GNU Guile. Example code has been adjusted +and shims have been added where necessary. + +There is a directory for each chapter. In each directory there is a +source file for each section. The source files are annotated with +comments marking the subsection that example code was taken from and +the exercises that the solutions are for. + +I made this repository to organize my own thoughts and work as I +slowly chew on this advanced tome, but I've made it public in case it +is useful to any fellow parenthesis nuts out there. + +* License + +All code in the book, my exercise solutions, and all other supporting +code I have implemented is licensed under GPL version 3 or later. + +Notably, Gerald Sussman taught a remote-only class using a draft of +this book during the COVID-19 pandemic [[https://www.gnu.org/education/teaching-my-mit-classes-with-only-free-libre-software.en.html][using only free software]]. + +Follow Sussman's lead and share the software, friends. -- cgit v1.2.3
