lisp介绍

Lisp（历史上拼写为LISP）是具有悠久历史的计算机编程语言家族，有独特和完全括号的前缀符号表示法。起源于公元1958年，是现今第二悠久而仍广泛使用的高端编程语言。只有FORTRAN编程语言比它更早一年。Lisp编程语族已经演变出许多种方言。现代最著名的通用编程语种是Clojure、Common Lisp和Scheme。

Lisp最初创建时受到阿隆佐·邱奇的lambda演算的影响，用来作为计算机程序实用的数学表达。因为是早期的高端编程语言之一，它很快成为人工智能研究中最受欢迎的编程语言。在计算机科学领域，Lisp开创了许多先驱概念，包括：树结构、自动存储器管理、动态类型、条件表达式、高端函数、递归、自主（self-hosting）编译器、读取﹣求值﹣输出循环（英语：Read-Eval-Print Loop，REPL）。

“LISP"名称源自“列表处理器”（英语：LISt Processor）的缩写。列表是Lisp的主要数据结构之一，Lisp编程代码也同样由列表组成。因此，Lisp程序可以把源代码当作数据结构进行操作，而使用其中的宏系统，开发人员可将自己定义的新语法或领域专用的语言，嵌入在Lisp编程中。

代码和数据的可互换性为Lisp提供了立即可识别的语法。所有的Lisp程序代码都写为S-表达式或以括号表示的列表。函数调用或语义形式也同样写成列表，首先是函数或操作符的名称，然后接着是一或多个参数：例如，取三个参数的函数f即为（f arg1 arg2 arg3）。

Lisp语言的主要现代版本包括Common Lisp, Scheme，Racket以及Clojure。1980年代盖伊·史提尔二世编写了Common Lisp试图进行标准化，这个标准被大多数解释器和编译器所接受。还有一种是编辑器Emacs所派生出来的Emacs Lisp（而Emacs正是用Lisp作为扩展语言进行功能扩展）非常流行，并创建了自己的标准。

概览

运行emacs-lisp的几种方式

key	command	description
`C-x C-e`	`eval-last-sexp`	在S表达式结尾运行，在minibuffer显示结果
`C-j`	`eval-print-last-sexp`	在S表达式结尾运行，打印运行结果
`M-:`	`eval-expression`	在minibuffer输入命令并执行
`M-x ielm`	`ielm`	使用IELM解释器运行代码

创建命令（interactive函数）

;; example
(defun buffer/insert-filename ()
  "Insert file path of current buffer at current point"
  (interactive)
  (insert (buffer-file-name (current-buffer))))

emacs探索

key	command	description
`C-h k`	`describe-key`	运行命令后，继续按键，查看此时按键绑定的函数
`C-h b`	`describe-bindings`	在\*Help\*界面搜索 `Major Mode Bindings:` 可以查看所有与当前major mode相关的按键。
`C-h f`	`describe-function`	查看函数文档及详细代码

关联列表和属性列表

概览

关联列表是一系列cons对，这里我可以称作 clist 或者 由两个元素组成的列表的集合，可以称为 alist

关联列表类型：clist

键: a, x, 2 and 4 值: b, y, 3 and (1 2 3 4 5)

ELISP> '((a . b) (x . y) (2 . 3) (4 . (1 2 3 4 5)))
((a . b)
 (x . y)
 (2 . 3)
 (4 1 2 3 4 5)

ELISP> (cons 'a 'b)
(a . b)

ELISP> (cons 'a (cons 'b (cons 'c nil)))
(a b c)

关联列表类型：alist

ELISP> '((a  b) (x  y) (2  3) (4  (1 2 3 4 5)))
((a b)
 (x y)
 (2 3)
 (4
  (1 2 3 4 5)))

ELISP> (list (list 'a 'b) (list 'x 'y) (list 2 3) (list 2 '(1 2 3 4 5)))
((a b)
 (x y)
 (2 3)
 (2
  (1 2 3 4 5)))

alist 不像 clist 有歧义。

属性列表：Plist

属性列表是连续的键值对集合，它的优势是括号少和可读性高。

'(:key1 value1 :key2 value2 :key3 1002.23 :key4 (a b c d e))

ELISP> '(:key1 value1 :key2 value2 :key3 1002.23 :key4 (a b c d e))
(:key1 value1 :key2 value2 :key3 1002.23 :key4
       (a b c d e))

;;; It is more useful in configuration files

(
:key1  value1
:key2  value2
:key3  value3
:key4  (a b c d e )
)

关联列表/Alist

ELISP> (setq dict
'((pine . cones)
 (oak . acorns)
 (maple . seeds)))
((pine . cones)
 (oak . acorns)
 (maple . seeds))

ELISP> dict
((pine . cones)
 (oak . acorns)
 (maple . seeds))

;; Get a cell associated with a key
;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
ELISP>
ELISP> (assoc 'oak dict)

ELISP> (assoc 'wrong dict)
nil

oak
ELISP> (cdr (assoc 'oak dict))
acorns
ELISP>


ELISP> (car (assoc 'oak dict))
oak
ELISP>

ELISP> (mapcar #'car dict)
