Title: newLisp vs Perl executable
Post by: tburton on July 21, 2006, 09:22:48 PM
I wrote a Perl script a couple years ago that loops through all *.cfm files in a given directory, grabs the documentation from each, and writes that documentation to a text file.  Using Perl2exe, the source was packaged into an exe of 347 KB.



I rewrote that script in newLisp and, using link.lsp, the source was packaged into an exe of only 174 KB.



About 50% smaller!

How was the documentation included in the *.CFM files? Was it in the comments sections?



Lutz brought up the idea of embedding documentation in Javadoc-style comments in newLISP modules. He might be working on it, I don't know.

Nice, tburton!



Not meaning to ignore your point.

The documentation in the .cfm files is included within "home grown" comment sections.

Yes I will do a simple newlispdoc system, similar to javadoc.
