Hi I was just wondering if there was any documentation (other than reading the source) on how the newLisp interpreter actually works and what data structures it uses to do its job?
About the only thing I seem to have been able to find is the paper on Memory Management.

At the moment the Memory Management document is the only place to find out about internals, but I will add some more chapters over time.
Its really pretty simple, I can post a short one-page summary coming week. Currently I am travelling and communicating over a slow dial-up line ;-)
