I\'ve been wanting to teach myself Lisp for a while. However, all the interpreters of which I\'ve heard involve some flavor of emacs. Are there any command line interpreters, s
You could also try DrScheme, which whilst not exactly a standalone interpreter, isn't emacs :)
It's basically a simple IDE that has an area to type in code that can be executed as a file, and then another area that is the running interpreter that you can interact with.
(Also, find the UC Berkeley CS61A podcasts and listen to them, as well as reading SICP)
