Think in math, write in code (2019)
Programmers love to discuss programming languages.

The Art of Lisp and Writing (2003)
Lisp is the language of loveliness. With it a great programmer can make a beautiful, operating thing, a thing organically created and formed through the interaction of a programmer/artist and a medium of expression that happens to execute on a computer.
