Title: 101 Mottos
Post by: m i c h a e l on June 11, 2006, 11:19:50 PM
It's time to begin a collection of the mottos applied to newLISP. Let's start with the original:


Quote from: "?""Puts the fun back in LISP."


Who was the first to say this?



What follows is a quick gleaning of the club's recent posts for anything even resembling a motto.


Quote from: "Peter""newLISP, the best programming language on earth."


Quote from: "cormullion""newLISP: Easier than you thought it was going to be, given that it has "Lisp" in its name!"


Quote from: "m i c h a e l""newLISP follows the principle of surprisingly easy."


Quote from: "cormullion""newLISP: Not as surprising as you thought!"


Quote from: "cormullion""newLISP: Prepare not to be astonished."


Quote from: "Peter""Just stop thinking and let newLISP do the talking."


Quote from: "cormullion""newLISP: Easier than it looks, even though it looks easier than you thought it looked!"


Quote from: "Peter""newLISP resembles the art of meditation."


Quote from: "m i c h a e l""The power of LISP, the fun of Ruby."


Quote from: "Norman""newLISP is not even that bad at all."


Quote from: "camperman""newLISP Just Worked. Out of the box. First time."


Quote from: "m i c h a e l""newLISP for world peace!"


Quote from: "cormullion""newLISP: We have three weapons: easiness and surprise!"


We're on our way to "Most mottoed language in history." Hey, that's another motto!



Don't be shy about adding your own magnificent mottos or combing the club's posts for others. We have a long way to go till we reach 101! What happens if we have more than 101? Or we don't get to 101? Don't ask.

QuoteA Lisp that doesn't suck


Actually this is a devious allusion to a quote from some guy called Paul Graham, "The good news is, it's not Lisp that sucks, but Common Lisp." //http://www.paulgraham.com/popular.html and wouldn't he just hate to be (mis)quoted here! ;-)



and it's also a bit of a steal from BareBones Software, the makers of BBEdit...

Perhaps you meant "(or shouldn't I be counting from 0?)", since "A Lisp that doesn't suck" makes 15? ;-)

This isn't NewLISP specific but how about

My motto is always: Use the right tool to get the job done!



So adapted to newLISP:



newLISP is mostly the right tool to get the job done!

Without counting Jeremy's motto (as he admits, not newLISP-specific) we have a grand total of 22 (unverified) mottos about newLISP! Almost one quarter of the way there already. Need to go think of another one . . .

Heheh is wish you luck, I started once the 99 ways of alternative smily's in this group..ended up with the strangest results finaly ;-)





newLisp, AKA ->

"programming in the quick and effcient way you aways dreamed of but where never able to accomplish with other programmnig languages"





newLisp is like "Italian saus" over a dellicious pasta,

you dont need much to love it!





newlisp is the only language that could (define cornflakes!)

Thank you, Norman, for already starting us down that path, with your last three contributions ;-) Which also brings us to being a full quarter (minus 1) of the way there!

newLISP doesn't mind if you use other languages - it will talk to you anyway



newLISP: the structure and interpretation of real world applications



newLISP: small is beautiful (when it works)



newLISP: because context is everything in interpretation <- I'm very proud of this one :]



newLISP: because there's nothing wrong with your C code



newLISP: write once, run everywhere (this might have been taken I think...)

There's simplicity to nothing, and complexity to everything. Right in the middle is perfection, and that is where newLISP sits.

QuotenewLISP: Tricking software developers into thinking they're creative


This one came to me after my fourth 'genius' slogan, when the reality of my creative ability (or lack thereof) settled in. Moral of this story: Just because I can do X in newLISP doesn't mean I'm a Grade A marketing pro; despite what I'd like to believe.

Did I say this?? noooooo-...

That can me be, thats far an understatement for my joy with newlisp ;-)



"newLISP is not even that bad at all."









I did say though ->



newLisp, puts the dot on Lisp!



newlisp is the only language that could (define cornflakes!)



"programming in the quick and effcient way you aways dreamed of but where never able to accomplish with other programmnig languages"



newLisp is like "Italian pasta saus" over a dellicious pasta,

you dont need much to love it!





But then again I need to create a new one ;-)

Quote from: "Sammo"newLisp: an uncommon Lisp!


I'm sad to point this out, but every lisp dialect since CLtL1 has been called "an uncommon lisp".
Title:
Post by: cormullion on October 31, 2007, 07:15:27 AM
Funny you should say that - the motto "newlisp - like every other lisp dialect since CLtL1, an uncommon lisp" was rejected by the advertising agency as being too long to put beneath the TV ads...  ;-)

Post by: Cyril on November 04, 2007, 07:21:31 PM
QuoteWith newLISP you can grow your lists from the right side!


Invented after insight that, in contrast with other lisp dialects,

(push elt lst -1) works as fast as (push elt lst).



(Another, worse version was here before; I have deleted it).

With newLisp you dont have to be a pro-grammer to do pro-gramming!





And thats a fact ;-)
