There's a nice tutorial, Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours [0] for writing a lisp interpreter in Haskell

This one is absolutely golden. Read down typeclassopedia, do this one and you're basically ready to ship.

Nice. The first Lisp interpreter whose source code I was able to dissect (as a student, source code generously provided by my professor), was the Lispf3 interpreter written in (gasp ;-) Fortran.

Sidenote: the garbage collector was in file garb.f (IIRC) and I lost this file soon when I did a "rm garb" to clean up my account on the BSD VAX where I kept it. But still have the line printer output :-)

Awesome, thanks for the link. I'll probably use that as a response whenever someone complains about compilation/setup being too complicated - the compilation instructions on page 4 should give them a proper baseline ;)
