If you find some – let me know and I'll post it. I refer you to the excellent book "Lisp in Small Pieces". Scheme is probably easier to implement than CL, because it is much, much smaller. An old favourite for many people who studied this in College or at home – The Little Schemer is the way many people have started the road to LISP. As discussed in extraordinary detail in Lisp in Small Pieces, but I don't recall whether the latter (or anything else) examines the connection. It seems to me that there is a clear connection with reflective towers, e.g. McCarthy He does a great job in Lisp in Small Pieces, but it's building on the foundation that McCarthy layed down. But I definitely wouldn't say that its standard has been written with optimization in mind. Described as 'mind blowing' by some – particular highlights include the ycombinator and the metacircular interpreter. I've struggled to find decent chunks of Lisp in Small pieces in Clojure code online. While I have started reading Lisp in Small Pieces, it hasn't had quite the impact on me. In Clojure you can find the following online: Chapter . You might not care about Lisp but this is an excellent example of literate programming.
