You'd get a surprise though. Did you know there was a bug in it?
Oh my, I had no idea! I've read that reasonably carefully, too. Not to mention having written an implementation, both in Python, and in the resulting mini-Lisp.

I don't remember where it was, but I encountered it when I tried to translate JMC's eval into CL. You could presumably find it by comparing that code to JMC's.https://gist.github.com/adlai/3cd4fcbca02aab926dab …

JMC spoke of Steve Russell "fixing bugs" when he hand-translated eval into machine language to make the first Lisp interpreter. I've always assumed it was the same bug but I have no way of knowing.
