Lithp

I've started working my way through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, after picking up a copy of the instructor's manual from the MIT Press bookstore in Cambridge. I was actually able to make sense of Edwin, the Emacs-like scheme interpreter that the book uses, and am really enjoying working through the material in the book. After the first couple of chapters, I think I'm gonna start trging to apply some of this stuff to project euler. I feel like lisp might lend itself to a better approach than python for several of the problems.
