wow! Job in newlisp, nice to see!

Hi folks, have you seen rosalind.info, the website with bioinformatics problems and drills? I think those problems are a good food for newLISP. Look at statistics in top100 or by countries: which languages people use. Lisp is a rare bird there :-(

Hi again, folks! Tried to find the info in documentation and other forum topics but couldn't. The question is about load function. Say I have three files: main.lsp, lib/a.lsp, lib/b.lsp How do I load file b.lsp into a.lsp if i load a.lsp into main.lsp? This doesn't work: ; main.lsp: (load "lib/a.lsp...

denis

the same effect happens with this function:

Code: Select all

> (define (pp x) (push x '()))
(lambda (x) (push x '()))
> (pp 1)
(1)
> pp
(lambda (x) (push x '(1)))
> (pp 3)
(3 1)
> pp
(lambda (x) (push x '(3 1)))

For some reason the function creates a closure for its literals? (sounds sane? :-) )

denis

Some strange behavior:

Code: Select all

(set 'lst '("23" "hello" "3.14"))
(float (lst 1))
; -> "3.14" instead of nil

Why so?

Hi! I have made a pdf version for "Code Patterns in newLISP". Sometimes I like reading away from computer having text on the paper, so I have made it for my own use. But maybe it will be useful for someone else too.

to jamesqiu's code I have added

Code: Select all

(replace "?" func-name "p")

before regexping, to be able to detect also such functions as zero? or null?

denis

Ahha, thanks! I see there are a lot of threads related to my question.
Also notion of .init.lsp was new for me, great!

Good european morning, folks! Could anyone advice me how to make colored output in REPL (in Linux)? Also I thought it would be good to have something like: > (help curry) Syntax: (curry func exp) Transforms func from a function f(x, y) that takes two arguments into a function fx(y) that takes a sing...

denis

Oh, true. Thanks, cormullion!
Needed this to analyze what macroses get in the (args). Complex cases happen when macro calls another macro. Maybe I go in wrong way, but for the moment current the question how to detect the form (type) of argument is relevant :-)

denis

Hi! Maybe a simple question, but why double symbol is not detected as symbol?

Code: Select all

(symbol? ''a) ; -> nil
; but
(symbol? (eval ''a)) ; -> true

What type of object is ''a (or e.g. '''''''''''''''''''''a) then?

Thanks, cormullion. Seems I missed this topic while doing search in the forum. Interesting, the issue also was raised by a person from Russia.. In my problem I need to know image size, as it is required in css styling, when using background image. It happens in a number of cases in the design of htm...

denis

I wonder if someone worked on some newlisp library that operates .jpg, .png, and .gif formats. I need to read width and height of an image. It would be great to have uniform interface, that will automatically detect a format of the image file (given as parameter) and read data common for all these f...

denis

Wow, I like this discussion! Last months I touched Ruby on Rails and Django, but now I am thinking more and more about to come back to my idea of "lispization" and finally try to do something with that. What I would say about HAML... Why not to go further and think on content that our browser gets f...

Hi! Seems, I succeeded to rewrite my Java-made site using newlisp and Dragonfly framework. It's here: http://pechenga.xpolaris.net It's in Russian, so short description: this is a site (clone, official website here: http://pechenga-gazeta.ru) of local newspaper with articles and comments to them, so...

denis

Thanks, cormullion!

It turned to be trivial, like I suspected! Lists, not quoted lists! Shame on me! :-)

denis

Hello, it's me again about Dragonfly! While using plugin artfulcode/json.lsp version 2.0 I tried to build a string in json format (lisp->json function). It turned out that I can not pass variables in the expression (or I don't know how to do it). Example: (setq var1 "some value") (Json:lisp->json '(...

Thank you, Lutz! I have just fixed the problem, but the resolution was not even in the page encoding. Actually, I hadn't Russian (ru_RU.UTF-8) locale being set in the operating system (Linux at VPS). First I installed the Russian locale. Then, before requests to the database I put (set-locale "ru_RU...

Good night everyone! I am trying to port my website and cms from tomcat/java to dragonfly/newlisp. The site is in Russian (cyrillic), so the problem: when I retrieve data from mysql database and print it through dragonfly's view I get this: "\208\148\208\183\195\166\209\131\208\180\208\182\209\139\2...
