Ha, can I ask who the involved prof/s was/were?

I spent some time at your Uni in the early 90s. From what I remember there wasn't a whiff of Lisp on the curriculum.

Heckendorn and Soule were the key profs in the research in the area. One other maybe?. Soule in particular. In 04 I was doing some undergrad research around training neural networks with particle swarms.

  I wandered off to do this Lisp on my own, inspired by the code-is-data concept of Lisp. This work is strictly toy, to self demonstrate the possibility. Wouldn't mind revisiting it sometime to bring in the top of the academic art. But I am not affiliated with a U, so publishing would be a challenge.
