I am new to ruby, and now I will write a parser for LISP-like language in
ruby, can anyone give me some advices about that? If there is some example
source code, there will be great. Thanks.

I’ve been thinking about doing a parser for sometime. But I don’t have
time yet. Even my Buffer class is not done yet. Anyway, if you want to
do it, consider the ruby-lex and ruby-yacc. Forget regex as it
can’t count nesting depth.

There is a LISP interpreter written in Python on sourceforge.net
(might be http://pylisp.sourceforge.net), you might take inspiration
from that. I tried for those parts I understood and it was a
refreshing experience seeing how nicer the code got in the translation
(to my liking, of course).

There are some lisp interpreters written in Ruby.
For example:
