Anything else we might add? / Looking ahead to newLISP 8.0

EddieR posted the following thoughts in the recent thread on "threads"; i think this deserves promotion to its own thread.



(hope you don't mind, Eddie!)

Since we have find and slice we could get rid of "member"



I've seen the (cond (bool1 exp1) (bool2 exp2) ....) vs (cond bool1 exp1 bool2 exp2 ...) debated in several books. Would it be bad to implement the if or the cond like (? bool1 exp1 bool2 exp2 ...). Maybe even get rid of either "cond" or the "if" altogether?



I know we've tossed around getting rid of starts-with and ends-with string functions, but, since you also provide for lists???



Why have "first" and "nth 0?"



Do we really need let? Or if we need let shouldn't we also have a let! that allows something like



code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(let! ((x 1) (y x)) (func ....))  where the second variable can use the value of the first variable?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Isn't lookup the same as (rest (assoc ....



how about a reverse-assoc?



I know I'm drawing flames here, but, ...

Anything else we might add? / query: threads in newLISP?
September 08, 2003, 10:20:11 AM
hello Lutz!



you have been rather busy! these past days releasing so many updates to newLISP; i have been reluctant to burden you with additional questions.



here is a general interest query: does newLISP support threads? threads are never mentioned in the newLISP documentation, so one could assume the negative.

(and we all know what happens when we assume ;-)



if threads are not supported, would implementation be difficult (like "never-going-to-happen" difficult), and do you have any plans in this direction?



thanks in advance for your time! -- kazemori

newLISP in the real world / query: internet required for newLISP?
August 22, 2003, 12:17:49 AM
i have recently installed newLISP (win32 binaries) onto my notebook pc (winme).



i am having a lot of fun with newLISP and the demo programs; however, i have one problem:



unless i am connected to the internet, only the console will work! newLISP complains about "net-send expecting a value".

no matter what i try, the console reports back with the same "net-send..."



this is an interesting "feature", to be sure; however, i would like  to use newLISP without having to initiate (or maintain) an internet connection.

(call me "mr. dial-up" ;-)



thanks in advance for any assistance!
