Juxtaposition

The clojure.core has this juxtapostion function which i find very useful. I wonder how easy is it to implement in newLisp. Takes a set of functions and returns a fn that is the juxtaposition of those fns. The returned fn takes a variable number of args, and returns a vector containing the result of ...

In order to shave kilobytes, will it be possible to remove compilation options for the matrix, financial, trigonometry functions?
I am not sure why this decision to add these functions to the 'core' of a general purpose language.

Re: How does (define (sum (x 0)) (inc 0 x)) work?

cormullion,

In other Lisp's this function is called a closure.
But newlisp does not support closures. If then what is it?

Re: (float) with elements of the list

Same issue on my Linux desktop.

Code: Select all

newLISP v.10.4.3 on Linux IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.
> (set 'lst '("23" "hello" "3.14"))
("23" "hello" "3.14")

I wish match also accepts regular expressions. Something like this.

Re: Exploding a list using patterns

Thank you winger for your timely responses.

It is interesting to see how newLisp allows you to use symbols (tmplst and result) without 'declaring' ahead.
I am not used to that kind of thinking. Is that considered good practice?

Exploding a list using patterns

Is there a Lisp pattern where I can explode a list which has BEGIN and END markers ("exb" "BEGIN" "unknown" "num" "of" "items" "END" "BEGIN" "ex3" "END" "something" "and" "so" "on" ) To (("BEGIN" "unknown" "num" "of" "items" "END") ("BEGIN" "ex3" "END")) The builtin explode function doesnt allow cus...

Re: Unix - Linking newLISP source and executable - newbie qu

Hmm, I don't remember seeing the error before.
However can you add the pathname for the newlisp executable in your repl.

Code: Select all

newlisp /path/to/link.lsp
(link "/path/to/newlisp executable" "uppercase" "uppercase.lsp")
If that fails too, you may copy the newlisp executable to your script path.
Cheers!

Re: What is the direct equivalent of for-each(Scheme) in new

I am getting an error for the foreach macro.

(foreach (fn (x) (println (* x x))) '(1 2 3 4))

Code: Select all

ERR: symbol expected in function dolist : (lambda (x) (println (* x x)))
called from user defined function foreach
Is there a macroexpand-1 facility in newlisp to see what is going on underneath?

What is the direct equivalent of for-each(Scheme) in newlisp

In Scheme

I didn't see a foreach function in the manual.

Note : I am NOT looking for 'dolist' which is different from foreach.

Re: [wishlist] things I wish for newlisp for 2012

Newlisp does not have TCO. How about adding loop/recur(aka clojure) like feature which internally does looping/trampolines/?
