Before you can advance, first take a step back... Readable working long form code you can understand is preferable to confusing non-working short form code you do not understand. While true lispers find my code below abhorrent, true lispers also find the idea of using newLISP itself abhorrent! (Note...

Also be sure to use floating point math functions for any calculations, that is: add sub mul div, instead of: + - * / http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#floating_point Floating point math and special functionsabs returns the absolute value of a number acos calculates the arc-cosine...

If you enjoy doing it, and learn something from doing it, then it is worth doing. If it is a chore, and becomes a burden, then don't do it. This is known in popular culture as "following your bliss". Currently, I would have no interest in this project. But I could have a future interest if the proje...

You have a symbol quoting error... Use: (set 'input ... or: (setq input ... or (setf input ... but not: (setq 'input ... nor (setf 'input ... (setq and (setf are the same as using (set ' ----------------- We can then also add some regex to parse to force it to break on one or more whitespace chars {...

One method, is to parse the line into words, define a small? predicate, then use the clean function. The join function can be used to make a string again. (setq input (parse "a bb ccc dddd eeeee ffffff")) (println input) (define (small? x) (< (length x) 4)) (setq output (clean small? input)) (printl...

And a Happy newLISP Year!!!

Cormullion's original work was a single html (or pdf) version users downloaded to their machines... The wikibooks version came later... Older users are more familiar of thinking in terms of "the Cormullion html/pdf rather than of "ITN"... With other's adding / editing content though, "ITN" becomes ...

Here is a better way, that doesn't need to mess with import... (define (import-ffi libname funclist) (dolist (func funclist) (eval (push import (push libname func))) ) ) (import-ffi "msvcrt.dll" '( ("atof" "double" "char*") ("atoi" "int" "char*") ; etc... ) ) -- xytroxon

On 64 bit Win 7 machines, 32 bit programs are installed in: "C:/Program Files (x86)/..." The cypto.lsp (and other?) module needs to add that path as shown below. (context 'crypto) ; set library to path-name of the library on your platform OS ; (set 'files '( "C:/Program Files/gnuwin32/bin/libeay32.d...

This is a great addition to newLISP!!! Some quick thoughts: ; An idea for dlls with multiple functions. To allow for a list ; in the second argument to define a dll's functions as a group. ; So to improve readability and reduce typing errors when ; adding new functions from header source code and ; ...

Well, as a Windows user, I think what attracts people to Apple machines are their amazing good looking designs, and of course more importantly, what you find under the hair er. "what you find under the hood"... ;>)

LISP is used a lot by secret government funded R&D corporations and deep pocket Wall Street traders... The "real" LISP compilers cost lots of money... These tend to be huge systems in terms of the required support code base in order to run even simple code... Scheme compilers are used mainly by the ...

After the "shedding" of the Python 2.x version "snake skin", the snake (Python 3) looks very much like the last, but the snake can't go back and comfortably wear (run) any of it's old snake skin scripts without the help of a good alterations tailor ;) In my case, Python 3 dropped future support of a...
