For a while now I have been unconsciously squirming in my seat when reading over code like this. This morning I became aware of that discomfort and cried in alarm: magic numbers! To the trained webber this might read transparently lucid; succinct even. But to the novice seeing this for the first ti...

Sorry to bring back to life such an old post. But I left aside newlisp for a while and now I'm catching up. And this got me puzzled: I tested the crashing function with -s 47000 and I get a stack overflow: 46998 ERR: call or result stack overflow : + called from user defined function simple-crash (s...

Erm...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /var/www/virtual/shinkirou.org/htdocs/blog/wp-content/themes/elegant-grunge/functions.php on line 3

I thought dragonfly was unmaintained, but since I've saw some recent post about it in here I decided to give it a try today. So I downloaded it, unzipped it into my ~/public_html, cd-ed into ~/p.../example-site, and run ./newlispServer, and I've got this error: ERR: list expected: (parse - query QUE...

Sorry, I'm used to hover over navigation bars and see drop down menus. I just noticed on this site you have to click the links for them to drop. It's a cool feature they stay on when you click them, so one can peruse at will without having to hold the mouse over the menu. However I think it's an usa...

Your links on the navbar do not point to anything, they have the hashmark.

Haven't used it yet, but Jeff Ober's web module claims to have ASP/PHP-style templates. Also I think I've seen some other stuff around with template capabilities.

Since we're in this time of the year, I'll take advantage of it and make some wishes for newlisp. First I'll wish there's a new area for wishes like this. Could it be a new forum area or a bug tracker, so we can keep track of what has been proposed and avoid discussing things that have already been ...

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're trying to achieve. However I can tell you that you avoid name conflicts by using contexts.

Thanks, I used ++ to keep the section. Also modified it a little bit to make emphasis on the implicit conversion both inc/dec and ++/-- do.

I just added the notice to avoid using curry with destructive functions in the chapter Apply and map which is the first one to mention curry function. However I stomp on something when I went to edit the section Invisible conversion and rounding . See, the thing is cormullion wrote that section to t...

I mentioned the full title in the first message: ITN book is Introduction to newLISP book. It's linked in newlisp.org documentation, I thought it was pretty known in the community.

This will be mentioned in the reference manual for 'curry' and should also be mentioned in the WikiBooks introduction.

Cool. I'll be updating ITN book in a couple of hours, I need to take a nap now.

On this simpler program: ... I cannot repeat the behavior, you are seeing (incrementing of file handles). Yes, called directly it behaves fine. So I rolled back my git repo and uploaded the bogus version with some additions to denote the bug. I put it here: https://gitorious.org/bogus-stuff/dzenbar...

I'm reading now the chapter Working with numbers from Introduction to newlisp book, and in the third code example under the subtitle Invisible conversion and rounding we see: (set 'lst '(2 6 9 12)) ;-> (2 6 9 12) (inc (lst 0)) ;-> 3 lst ;-> (3 6 9 12) (map inc lst) ;-> (4 7 10 13) (map (curry inc 3)...

I'm using i3 with dzen bar and I'm using newlisp to build me a pretty customized bar. I have this code to check for cpuload: (define (read-proc-stat) (setq procStat (open "/proc/stat" "read")) (do-while (regex {cpu\d?} (read-line procStat)) (parse-stat-line (current-line))) (close procStat)) Script ...

itn book updated now. I modified examples and part of the text under subtitles: FOOP in a nutshell , Polymorphism , Modifying objects . Also I added an external link to the reference manual since there's an example there on nested objects which I felt was important and is missing on itn book. Maybe ...

Thanks Michael and Lutz, I think Cormullion said somewhere in the book to read the reference manual first, not sure though, and now I'm too engaged with the book to start from scratch with the manual. Anyway I should read it when I find this kind of differences, I'm making a mental note now. A quest...

I'm reading the chapter on contexts now on the Introduction to Newlisp book, and just copy pasted the example on FOOP, which looks like this: ; definitions (define (Time:Time (t (date-value)) (zone 0)) (list Time t zone)) (define (Time:show t) (date (t 1) (t 2))) (define (Time:days-between t1 t2) "R...

The system variable $it is mentioned in the 10.3.3 doc http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#system_symbols Sorry about that Lutz, my bad. I just went for the index instead of searching and now I'm noticing that the index is for functions and that there're plenty of mentions of $it. ...

I found a reference to variable $it set by setf in Introduction to newlisp book, in the chapter on strings, http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Introduction_to_newLISP/Strings&stable=0#Modifying_strings which doesn't exist in the manual nor works in v10.3.3. I was about to remove the mention, ...

Sorry about the fuss then, I shouldn't wave the bug-flag so carelessly. I misunderstood this statement: "The following constants can be used for int-option" in http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#regex , just above the table a couple of pages below the anchor. I thought I could use ...

I found this topic: http://newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3763&hilit=PCRE_UTF8 But, I tested both v10.3.3 and v.10.3.6 by doing: ./configure && make -f makefile_linuxLP64_utf8 and I got: $ ./newlisp -e '(replace { } " x x x " {-} 0x8000)' "-x x x " $ ./newlisp -e '(replace { } " x ...

You're right Lutz... Also I think I found a bug in the installation scripts. I downloaded v10.3.3 to check for getopts.lsp and it was right there, as you stated. So I thought it might be an error with my distro (archlinux), so I completely removed newlisp, and reinstalled it, and still no getopts mo...

There's no module under /usr/share/newlisp/modules/getopts.lsp yet (newLISP v.10.3.3).

Maybe the example should say that since
will not work unless you copy the module there.

Other than that, thank you Ted.
