I learned a LOT from the book yet I’ve written a few code snippets myself already. I could easily submit my “HTML tag wrapper” code for instance.

When does it end? Let’s say January 1st, unless there is nothing brilliant by then, in which case, the following January 1st.

When does this bounty-hunt end?

Also, I use VIM, not Emacs. That would be another hurdle to take.

Offering a book on _learning_ LISP to the person that posts the best LISP code. A bit like offering mechanic lessons to the person that fixes your car the best?
