Hello Cormullion, yes, vision was intricate :-) There is definitely more stuff that I would like to share, but next time I might just use something premanufactured instead of building it from scratch. Time and other resources are needed for my other hobbies as well. I might eventually create a new w...

What is it that dont you like about using > (apply list '(a b c d) 2) It combines two different concepts - applying and reducing. When I read the code, I need to count how many parameters 'apply' function has to decipher what action is being taken. That can be confusing. Separate function for reduc...

Hello newlispers! Since there is gonna be a new newLISP version, which makes some breaking changes, it is a good time to introduce new things and do some cleanup :-) I am proposing to change behavior of 'dup'. Currently: > (dup 'a 5) (a a a a a) > (dup "a" 5) "aaaaa" In my opinion, it would be nice ...

Fanda

I am happy about the change. I couldn't reach newlisp.org from time to time in the past. I wish you more luck with the current provider!

Link that worked for me is:

LISP is an ancient language and I am not surprised that there are so many implementations. At the same time it's interesting to see another language so close to newLISP. I guess - good ideas never die! ;-)

Hi Pavel! Welcome to our forum! I really love the papers you wrote about programming. I read your http://www.elica.net/download/papers/ElicaLogoObjects.pdf and it's funny, how REBOL uses Logo-like syntax and semantics. Actually it was newBert, who pointed us to Elica: http://www.alh.net/newlisp/phpb...

Thumbs up! I like it too! ;-)

To me, it's a great thing to have a language allowing you to use both OOP and FP techniques. That's why I wanted to have OOP in newLISP so much. I can actually model some interesting things with it. My guess is that languages like Python and Ruby are so popular, because they also allow both. I see a...

Actually, I would suggest something similar. I like how other LISPs use '!' at the end of their functions to imply destructive behaviour. It makes it very clear. See for example dotlisp:

When I study new languages, I usually see what applications have been written in them. newLISP is web-ready with many functions built-in, good for prototyping and having fun in general. Any kind of a script, which is usually written in Python/Perl/Ruby/Tcl/REBOL can be written easily. It can be embe...

Actually, I like parenthesis in newLISP and in any other LISP a lot. It makes it easy to see with what parameters have you called the function. Languages like REBOL have managed to get rid of some of the parenthesis by defining exactly how many parameters can you pass to a function. In my opinion it...

My expectations were quite high, but there are some good things to look at ;-)

I believe that for example Clojure innovates more:

Error when using macro is that argKey is 'action NOT action.

Code: Select all

(define-macro (clientParams-get argKey)
   (println argKey)
   (println (lookup argKey clientParams) )
);define

> (clientParams-get 'action) 
'action
nil
nil

Fanda

Either leave it as a macro and run it:

Code: Select all

> (clientParams-get action) 
my action
"my action"

or change it to normal function and run it:

Code: Select all

(define (clientParams-get argKey)
   (println (lookup argKey clientParams) )
);define

> (clientParams-get 'action) 
my action
"my action"

And you can use Yahoo! Babel Fish:

New updated version can be found here:
http://intricatevisions.com/source/newlisp/oop.lsp

- added 'type' and 'type?' functions
- shorter syntax: instead of obj-do, obj-set, obj-get use .do, .set, .get

We could put weight on votes for each position: 1st -> 3 points 2nd -> 2 points 3rd -> 1 point This way: 1st place: A:6 B:4 C:0 2nd place: A:2 B:3 C:5 A = 6*3 + 2*2 = 18+4 = 22 points B = 4*3 + 3*2 = 12+6 = 18 points C = 0*3 + 5*2 = 0+10 = 10 points Now it is more clear and I think also fair.

Yes, CSS is always trouble. When I started my website, I used to try it in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. But after some time it gets labour-intensive to try every new change, so I usually *HOPE* ;-)))

Hello Cormullion!

For whatever reason, under Windows XP and FireFox (2.0.0.11), there are no blue buttons shown.

I don't see "help" or "again". I can see "evaluate" in the right top corner, but it isn't blue.

Otherwise... evaluation is fun :-)
