Lutz, do you think that you could start using an SCM (preferably Git) to track changes to newLISP, and hosting a public repo? I'd like to have access to the latest, cutting-edge version of newLISP to help change the code in any way I can, and I think many others would like that, too.

I've started to learn F# (a OCaml-like language for .NET), and one feature that really struck me is automatic currying. Here's a newLISP-syntax example of what I mean (it is not valid newLISP code): (define (add-nums a b) (+ a b) (setq add10 (add-nums 10)) (add10 3) ; => 13 Basically, when you "call...

Those are hash functions, not encryption algorithms, but they are still useful.

http://kinghajj.ath.cx/rc4-nl.tar.bz2 ; example usage (rc4-encrypt (rc4-encrypt "Hello!" "World")) ; => "Hello!" RC4 is much better than a one-time pad for practical applications. I would have implemented this is a primitive, builtin function, but the documentation doesn't cover that. It'd be much ...

I made some improvements to my define-class module.

• -The functions documented with newlispdoc.
  -Instead of "inherits", the keyword is now "mixin" or "mixins".
  -Each class can now mixin more than one other class.

OK, Here's the code to my "define-class" macro. There's one little issue with the attribute setters, in that they do not modify the original data, but rather make a new object with the changed attribute. However, because newLISP encourages this sort of style, maybe it will stay this way. ;;;;;;;;;;;...

Looking at Michael's code, I noticed that there are many redundancies with making classes. How about a macro to define classes? ;; D I S P L A Y A B L E (define-class (displayable) (define (string) (string self)) (define (print) (println (:string self)))) ;; P O I N T (define-class (point (x 0) (y 0...

Maybe :

works better !
;)

But the point is that the code I wrote, while useless, should not crash the program.

I got a segmentation dump when trying dostring.

64-bit OSes are usually near-100% compatible with their 32-bit counterparts. The 64-bit versions of Windows, for example, have a special library that re-implements 32-bit Windows on 64-bit Windows, allowing you to run any 32-bit program. I'm sure that Mac OS X will be no different. The main advantag...

I use a 64-bit Linux distro, so this suggestion might not apply to all versions of newLISP. I've written a very simple Reverse Polish Notation calculator in C. To store numbers, the data type I chose was "long double." With this, I am able to calculate large numbers such as 2^2048 (*). In newLISP, h...

Thanks, Lutz. I was wondering this morning how to do that, and using a macro did come to mind, but I was too busy to work on that.

Somebody mentioned wanting a defstruct macro in newLISP, so here's my attempt at implementing one. (define (truncate lst size) (let ((len (length lst))) (if (<= len size) (append lst (dup nil (- size len))) (chop lst (- len size))))) (define-macro (define-struct params) (let ((items (args)) (struct-...

Wow, that is a much cleaner version of truncate! Here's a more concise version.
I'll use this in the next release. Thanks.

I wrote this up quickly last night and this afternoon. It's a database library written completely in newLISP. It's very simple, but I'll make it more capable in later releases. I wrote this because I didn't want to deal with SQL. I suppose I could have written a wrapper around the sqlite3 library fo...

I wrote a post at http://kinghajj.blogspot.com/2007/09/contexts-as-objects-in-newlisp.html detailing how to use contexts to implement classes and objects in newLISP. Nice entry -- short and sweet. BTW, there is an error (really, a typo causing an error) in your code: (context 'Point) (define (Point...

I was reading the book Practical Common Lisp, and found a great implementation of unit tests in Common Lisp. So, I thought I'd re-make them (in my own way, of course,) in newLISP. nltests.lsp ;; nltests.lsp -- testing macros ;; Copyright (C) 2007 Samuel Fredrickson. (context 'nltests) ; used to repo...

I thought that you might have found this already. Is there a link to where you describe it?

I wrote a post at http://kinghajj.blogspot.com/2007/09/contexts-as-objects-in-newlisp.html detailing how to use contexts to implement classes and objects in newLISP. I've just discovered this--though I'm probably not the first--so I haven't found out all that you can do with this. Hope you enjoy it.

I wrote a simple macro that will work like apply, but works correctly with case.

These two pieces of code should be equivalent, correct? But they are not. (apply case ...) doesn't work.

I use the font DejaVu Sans Mono at 16pt, and for me having the tab at 20pt looks perfect. Thanks for the tip, Lutz.

the newlisp-gs editor does not interpret tabs well. instead of defining a tab to look like 1, 2, 3 or 4 spaces, it seems to use a number above 1.5 but below 2. This is not very aesthetic, and I think that this number should be user-specified in the settings file. The first function uses tabs, while ...

I saw in a search of the forums that Lutz doesn't like backquotes, so I've come up with a possible solution. I've implemented a backquote-like feature with a macro. ; takes an item from the template and decides whether to evaluate it or not. ; if the item starts with an "@" and is a symbol, then ret...
