I'm wondering if anybody could point me towards a code repository for
lisp? I'm starting out in lisp after plenty of experience with C and
java, (as I read in one book and now thoroughly believe, knowing a
procedural language before you learn lisp really is a disadvantage)
and what I'm basically looking for is some sample code to see how
people construct algorithms in contrast to the way it is done in
procedural languages.
If I could just find a few pieces of code that implement simple
programs I would be able to "pull myself up by my bootsraps" and learn
the rest.
Any responses via usenet or via email would be appreciated.

Isabelle stared down into her bowl of Alphabet Soup. Will I ever find
a man? Will I ever be happy again? "SNXRPT," answered the soup.
Isabelle let out a great sigh of relief. ··········@titan.vcu.edu

See the Association of Lisp Users site at
http://www.elwood.com/alu/index.htm, which as a number of pointers to
code repositories.

I'd also suggest the books "ANSI Common Lisp" and "On Lisp" from Paul
Graham, which can give you a good introduction to programming in CL
and CL idioms. For OOP with CLOS, see also Sonya E. Keene's book[1].
Welcome to the world of Lisp, have fun, and go forth to produce pieces
of art.[2] ;)
