In my senior year of high school, I learned the Clojure programming language, implemented a Lisp interpreter, and gave a presentation about the language.
This was created for my English 12 Senior Thesis project. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to study Clojure and compiler implementation, both of which I had wanted to learn for a while. I have shared these materials in the hopes that it will inspire someone else to learn Clojure and become invested in Lisp and programming language theory. These materials provide a solid plan for studying these topics, including a timetable and a massive amount of literature to read on the subject, most importantly the book Clojure for the Brave and True. Additionally, the presentation I prepared at the end provides a summary of the topics and can serve as a good starting point to understand the basics of the topics before delving in.
If you are interested in learning about how Lisp and programming languages work and how simple it is to make your own, I highly recommend looking at these resources.
