Title: Newlisp Coded in Java?
Post by: Tim Johnson on February 23, 2008, 04:09:07 PM

I know of some long-time java programmers who are switching to jython.

FYI: jython is python written in java and gives access to java resources

keeping the more compact python syntax.

As a long-time python programmer who is learning newlisp in my

spare time, I think I'm going to find newlisp more efficient LOCwise

than python - just as rebol is more efficient LOCwise than python.

LOC = lines of code

Therefore, it behooves me to ask:

What about a newlisp written in java?

And the newlisp binary on linux is about 15% the

size of the python 2.5 binary with, I assume similar

comparisions in the LOC.

Inquiring minds want to know.... :-)

coding micro-lisps in Java is a surprisingly popular hobby.

Check www.freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net -- you'll be amazed ;))

I suppose the guiserver is sort of what you mean - newLISP driving a Java library? Presumably other Java resources could be integrated in the same way, without having to write newLISP 'in' Java.

And I have the slogan all ready:

"You know you're using newLISP-Java when you see this in the console"

which happens to me when I make a mistake using the guiserver... :)

For a Lisp written in Java, you can see Fanda's post :

~~Quote from: "Fanda"~~My expectations were quite high, but there are some good things to look at ;-)

I believe that for example Clojure innovates more:
