newLISP newS / What is $args?
July 24, 2008, 04:29:26 PM
It looks the same as (args). Is it documented, I cannot find it.

Anything else we might add? / Unless
July 16, 2008, 09:07:03 PM
In Newlisp unless is "pessimistic if" as Cormullion stated it in his free book.


Quote(unless (= 0 1)(print "55")(print "66"))


is same thing as


Quote(if (not (= 0 1))(print "55")(print "66"))


However, in CL and Scheme, unless is "pessimistic when."


Quote(when (not (= 0 1))(print "55")(print "66"))


So, original expression prints 5566 in CL and Scheme and 55 in Newlisp.



It might be good to synchronize that with CL and Scheme, because difference can be source of the bugs and reason for complains, and because CL and Scheme semantics seems to be more beneficial - it spares one (begin) - while Newlisp version only change the order of the alternative s-expression.



Maybe some other keyword could be used for "unless" in the current meaning, if someone think it is useful.

newLISP newS / Why comma is special?
July 09, 2008, 03:03:37 AM
I noted that comma cannot be part of the symbol; it appears identifier



x,y



is understood like it is the sequence of three symbols



x , y



Is it intentional?

Whither newLISP? / Returning copies of the values ...
June 29, 2008, 12:04:34 PM
In http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/">one of my last blogs I noted that Newlisp, when using blocks of the expressions doesn't return the result of the evaluation of the last expression - but its copy.



It holds for begin, let, lambda, lambda-macro, silent ...



Why is that? Is there any possibility for changing it or additionally providing the versions returning actual value of the last evaluated expression, not its copy? Advantages would be some speed, but also some expressive power. I'm aware that passing actual values as arguments to functions breaks ORO, but returning actual values seems safe to me.

newLISP and the O.S. / Bug - works only in default dir
May 29, 2008, 02:06:57 AM
I tried to instal Newlisp in



C:Newlisp



but editor doesn't work although Newlisp itself works. It works well if installed in default directories. It is minor bug, however, maybe it is worth reporting. It happens on XP 32 bit and Vista 64 bit.

newLISP newS / Why is (quote x) different from 'x ?
May 14, 2008, 10:21:49 AM
Code Select
> (println (= ''x '(quote x)))
nil

Is it bug or feature? 9.3.12 version.
