Dragonfly / newlisp crashes
February 21, 2013, 07:53:22 AM
I'm using:

- 32-bit Win 7

- newlisp v10.4.6

- http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.4.3-win32.zip">apache 2.4.3



And this is how I did the setup:

1. Put newlisp in C:newlisp

2. Put apache in C:apache24

3. Put the dragonfly framework in C:apache24htdocs.



I ran newlispServerWin.bat, and command prompt printed this:
QuoteIf all goes well visit http://localhost:8080">http://localhost:8080 in your browser


Opened http://localhost:8080">http://localhost:8080 on the browser, and newlisp crashed. Every time.



How to fix this?

I hope I don't start flame war here ^^



I'm a CL newbie, and I discovered newLISp in a short time after I started learning CL.



My interest in CL is well ..., somewhere between academic & hobby.

I must admit I'm interested in CL due to Paul Graham's essays, and I already learned a bit Haskell in the university, so I think's it's reasonable to learn Lisp.



From what I can see now, Lisp is a very interesting language (praised by some of the famous people in computing world like Peter Norvig, Eric Raymond, or Alan Kay), mature (about 50 years of development history), available in many open source/commercial implementations, supported by lots of 3rd party libraries, etc.



And when I meet newLIsp. I can see newLisp as a 'practical Lisp'. Small, yet includes useful libraries like socket, regex, or GUI (not like CL, in which sometimes you still to find your own).



So, is there any benefit in learning CL, besides the reasons stated above ?

newLISP newS / newLISP built-in documentation ?

Does newLISP has a built-in documentation ?



I mean, a documentation built within the interpreter.

So when you are running newLISP, you can do something like this :



> help reverse
"In the first form, reverse reverses and returns the list. Note that reverse is destructive and changes the original list."

> help unique
"Returns a unique version of list with all duplicates removed."


Yes I know, there's a good documentation http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/manual_frame.html">there, but it's pretty convenient not to open too much window :)

Anything else we might add? / newLISP & Haskell
January 31, 2008, 01:50:26 AM
I found this interesting language (newLISP) after some googling on LISP.

Well, Haskell is my first functional language and I like it a lot.



I believe each language has its own strength & weakness.

My question is, what's suited best to do in Haskell, and in newLISP ?
