1750 lines of fascinating C [encompassing an garbage collector and user-level implementations of user-defined types and structures, single-dispatch object-oriented "messaging", and generic "multimethods"]

Another interesting book on implementing Lisp (from a C perspective) is http://www.buildyourownlisp.com/.

Also, Lithp from fogus http://fogus.me/fun/lithp/ is a nice and brief exploration of implementing Lisp in Python and good example of literate programming.

Yep, you learn little by "writing code", you learn a lot by developing an ass kicking product/service in a very constrained environment, working with great people and pushing yourself to the limit. It's about the people, the [human] experience not just the code.

The code above doesn't provide a Singleton implementation, you can test it by using the expression mySingleton() == mySingleton() which should evaluate to true, while it evaluates to false. The problem is that the function returns an object literal but every time the function is called it creates a new one (i.e. {} == {} evaluates to false). You can find a sound definition of a Singleton in JavaScript which makes use of the (quite tricky) Lazy Function Definition here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1895635/javascript-single... . EDIT: Took a deeper look at the "book" and the singleton section and I think it somewhat misuses the term Singleton (or it uses in a "broad" sense): the example you reported provides some information hiding but no single instantiation restriction, which it is instead provided by the final example/iteration.

he definitely meant Rhino, as in Rhino on Rails http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/rhino-on-rails.html

for what concerns capital letters, from the essay I cited before [http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/pikestyle]: "I eschew embedded capital letters in names; to my prose-oriented eyes, they are too awkward to read comfortably. They jangle like bad typography". As Pike acknowledges this is just a matter of taste.

It reminds me of Rob Pike's "Notes on Programming in C", where Pike takes frequency into account as guideline, i.e. "A global variable rarely used may deserve a long name, maxphysaddr say" [http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/pikestyle - Variable names paragraph - a nice and suggested read].

It's a "weak AI" approach http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_AI (i.e. demonstrate intelligence) but it's definitely fair to call this an AI library. Subsumption architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption_architecture is the cognitive architecture underlying reactive AI.
