Apparently, it is some kind of sexual fetish. I flagged many of these videos as Violent and repulsive content > animal abuse, but without any reaction from Youtube. Some (but very …

Newlisp is my favorite Lisp dialect. Before that I used Scheme and before that, CL. I prefer Newlisp because combination of dynamic scope and fexprs is conceptually simpler and mor…

One interesting trend graph.

You can check my blog. There is a lot of code=data manipulation there. For example, this one: http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/2009/12/symbols-as-sexpr... This post describes im…

Yes, it's fun. PLT Scheme editor supports similar "block style" parentheses highlighting, and it is useful for reading large data sets or machine generated code. http://plt-scheme.…

Very interesting work.

Good luck, Bard.

I think Wand's result is straw man if used against fexprs - and Wand really didn't used it that way. Essentially, he says, with fexprs, there is no source => source transformation …

If you use eval in your program, the program will macroexpand each time it evaluates code containing macros. As even standard operators like setf are macros in CL, it will practica…

* Fexprs are easier to write and more expressive than macros. They can be mapped, applied, wrapped around other functions, fexprs and built in primitives, in the case of Newlisp, e…

Closures are the functions with "private" data preserving values between two calls of the same function. It is not impossible with dynamic scope - but problem is again accidental n…

There are few ways out of that: 1. use of "contexts" i.e. Newlisp namespaces 2. use of same approach as in CL or Scheme macros. In CL it is automatic generation of unusual names, g…

This problem exists, but it is equivalent to problems Common Lisp programmer has to face if he writes macros, and solutions are similar. In CL it is solved with gensyms, and Scheme…

In my opinion, dynamic scope is adequate solution for Lisp approach, i.e. expressive power on the first place. Newlisp is very simple and expressive dialect, and it is pleasure usi…

It is true, Lisp means any Lisp, and it is specifically noted on the advertised poll that all Lisp dialects are included. It is also specifically noted that Lisp programmers who us…
