Re: How the backquote and the comma really work?

[Emanuel Berg]

Lisp is based on lists, so naturally, there are
several ways to set them up based on your needs at the
moment, as they are such a cornerstone to everything
that goes on.

The ways that immediately comes to mind are:

    (list <eval_1> ... <eval_n>)

    (cons <eval to car> <eval to cdr>)

    '(<don't eval_1> ... <don't eval_n>)
    
    `(<don't eval> ,<eval> ,@<eval list and insert elements>)

If the syntax of the quote and backquote makes you
confused, just replace them by exactly that, `quote'
and `backquote': (quote (<don't eval_1> ... )) and all
that, just the same.
