My latest book about LISP, metacircular interpretation, self-compilation, and hacking in the age of big iron. Contains many small implementations, including a simple LISP->C compiler. Code is in the public domain! Enjoy!

I noticed you wrote a book on "Raja Yoga". Super interesting. Do you attribute your superpowers (the fact that you are knowledgeable about and created all these books) to concentration meditation?

Honestly I don't know! Meditation certainly improved my focus, so it may have had some effect.

I do not consider my writing to be a siddhi (superpower), though!
