Anything else we might add? / What we need is a patch...

http://www.custompatches.net/">http://www.custompatches.net/



Wondering if anybody would throw a hissy-fit if I took the dragon fly logos in the art section ( http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Art">http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Art ) and made embroidered patches out of them.



I'd love to sew one into my backpack.

newLISP in the real world / Wanting stdout, stderr and return code of shell commands
November 08, 2011, 01:37:44 PM
When I use exec or ! to run a shell command, I want to get strings containing the contents of stdout and stderr (even if empty) as well as the exit code of the program.



I could direct the output in the command like so:

(! "ls 2>/tmp/err >/tmp/out")



And then just read those files but that seems horribly crufty.

 

Now exec gives me stdout but I still  want exit code and stderr.



Is there a better way to see what is happening with the programs I run?

Whither newLISP? / Why no closures?
October 21, 2011, 01:18:45 PM
I'm really quite surprised that this isn't in the FAQ.



Why don't we have closures now?


Code Select
> (define (foo x) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))
(lambda (x) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))
> ((foo 3) 4)

ERR: value expected in function + : x

I can do this in Common Lisp:
Code Select
[16]> (defun foo (x) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))
FOO
[17]> (apply (foo 3) '(5))
8



Was this part of the design philosophy or have we just not done it yet?
