Re: To pythonistas...
Thanks! The next step for newLISP is to be able to call Python modules! ;) Have you seen Lunatic Python? http://labix.org/lunatic-python Introduction Lunatic Python is a two-way bridge between Python and Lua, allowing these languages to intercommunicate. Being two-way means that it allows Lua inside...

I think they are more worried that Mathematica "did lists better" than CL rather than to worry about a mere mention of newLISP!!! Part of the mystical allure of CL to the Wisp Lizards er. "Lisp Wizards" is that Lisp in general and CL in particular "is more mathematical" in form than other programmin...

No... Reva is a REPL interpreter that is "subroutine threaded" for speed, but it also has available inline and macro capabilities. It also does generalized tail-call elimination...

Very interesting!!! But I have some thoughts here, to be the proverbial "devils advocate" :) 1: Is using a mature, optimized SQLite3 "blobs" database faster???

I saw this and thought Lutz might be interested. It is also of interest to other newLISPers who want to understand one of the core aspects of the inner working of newLISP. From the newLISP FAQ: 6.

If you use Lisp... Then the name "newLISP" implies that you are using the old and possibly flawed Lisp... And you become defensive, denying that anything is old or flawed about Lisp...

Here is link to help understand the concepts involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(programming) As such, dynamic scoping can be dangerous and almost no modern languages use it.
