Appendix A 
● Chapter 1 - Why Bother? Or: Objections Answered 
Chapter objective: Describe the most common objections to Lisp, and answer each with advice 
on state-of-the-art implementations and previews of what this book will explain.
❍ I looked at Lisp before, and didn't understand it. 
❍ I can't see the program for the parentheses. 
❍ Lisp is very slow compared to my favorite language. 
❍ No one else writes programs in Lisp. 
❍ Lisp doesn't let me use graphical interfaces. 
❍ I can't call other people's code from Lisp. 
❍ Lisp's garbage collector causes unpredictable pauses when my program runs. 
❍ Lisp is a huge language. 
❍ Lisp is only for artificial intelligence research. 
❍ Lisp doesn't have any good programming tools. 
❍ Lisp uses too much memory. 
❍ Lisp uses too much disk space. 
❍ I can't find a good Lisp compiler. 
● Chapter 2 - Is this Book for Me? 
Chapter objective: Describe how this book will benefit the reader, with specific examples and 
references to chapter contents.

Successful Lisp - Contents

❍ Multiple inheritance allows mix-and-match definition

❍ Options control initialization and provide documentation

❍ This is only the beginning...

● Chapter 8 - Lifetime and Visibility

Chapter objective: Show how lifetime and visibility affect the values of Lisp variables during

execution. This is pretty much like local and global variables in other languages, but Lisp's

special variables change things. This chapter also sets the stage for understanding that lifetime

and visibility isn't just for variables.

❍ Everything in Lisp has both lifetime and visibility

❍ Lifetime: Creation, existence, then destruction

❍ Visibility: To see and to be seen by

❍ The technical names: Extent and Scope

❍ Really easy cases: top-level defining forms

❍ Scope and extent of parameters and LET variables

❍ Slightly trickier: special variables

● Chapter 9 - Introducing Error Handling and Non-Local Exits

Chapter objective: Show three new ways of transferring control between parts of a program.

❍ UNWIND-PROTECT: When it absolutely, positively has to run

❍ Gracious exits with BLOCK and RETURN-FROM

❍ Escape from anywhere (but not at any time) with CATCH and THROW

❍ Making sure files only stay open as long as needed

● Chapter 10 - How to Find Your Way Around, Part 1

Chapter objective: Show how to find things in Lisp without resorting to the manual.

❍ APROPOS: I don't remember the name, but I recognize the face

❍ DESCRIBE: Tell me more about yourself

❍ INSPECT: Open wide and say "Ah..."

❍ DOCUMENTATION: I know I wrote that down somewhere

● Chapter 11 - Destructive Modification

Chapter objective: Illustrate the difference between assignment and binding, and show why

assignment is harder to understand. Then explore reasons for preferring the more difficult

concept, and introduce functions that use destructive modification.
