Edit ``Anthology''

In literature, anthologies are collections of interesting or representative full works, or partial quotes, that are worth discussing and studying. This page is an attempt to create an *(Anthology) of Common Lisp code.

You may add links to any code that is particularly well documented, interesting, well designed, elegant, readable, efficient, concise yet clear, robust, implements an algorithm in a clever way, takes advantage of some language feature, or is just beautiful. You name it -- literally.

The code in this page should be above the average or unique in some way. In short, it should be, well, worth including in an anthology. Obfuscated code does not belong here, we want to learn something -- useful.

Due to space constraints, it is better if you include only links, not the actual code. Here is a sample entry template, which you can copy and paste:

<dl>
<dt><a href="">Name</a> of the system of which the code is part
<dd>Briefly tell here which parts of the system are anthology code, and why you think they are interesting. Liberally use bullet lists:
<ul>
<li><a href="">first interesting source file</a>, and why
<li><a href="">other interesting source file</a>, and why
</ul>
</dl>

Place your entries below.
<hr>
Following code is not a part of any system. However, perhaps, it shows well some nice features of CL.
<ul>
<li><a href=http://khamenya.ru/lisp/code-snippets/fib/>Fibonacci Function Example</a> shows how to turn programs with exponential time growth into polynomial. One could give just a lingual hint in a good language, and not the complete instructions by the programmer, which have to be given in other popular languages. </li>

<h2>Anthology Code Entries</h2>

The book is not online, but the examples in <a href="http://www.norvig.com/paip/README.html">Paradigms of 
Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp</a>
are mostly very good.

It's a shame to have this list empty, can be very helpful to us, 
 the newbie Lispniks who don't know where the good code is.

CLiki pages can be edited by anyone at any time. Imagine a fearsomely comprehensive disclaimer of liability. Now fear, comprehensively
