A few weeks ago, I went through "Make a Lisp" [1] using C#. It only took a few days to get to a pretty useful implementation. I "cheated" quite a bit using the existing C# implementation from the repo as a reference, but my end result looks pretty different. Learned a TON. Highly recommended.

My only memory is of the closing ceremony: a fleeting image of a bear mascot being carried across the stadium by balloons. I watched that on TV as a nine-year-old boy in Slovakia..
