One of the common complaints about Lisp that there are no libraries in the ecosystem. As you see, 5 libraries are used just in this example for such things as encoding, compression, getting Unix time, and socket connections.
你觉得只有一个 ANSI C Std Lib 够用吗。
有一个语言标准并不代表语言实现者不会加扩展。
这样讲吧,John McCarthy 的 Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and their Computation by Machine (Part I) 除了用了个 lambda 的字面符号,完全没有讲过 lambda calculus。LISP 的核心是符号处理语言,而不是什么 lambda calculus 的模型。正式把 Lisp 和 lambda calculus 联系起来的是 Scheme,which is, however another language.
