Post by: hsmyers on March 07, 2008, 01:03:47 PM
Is there a list of newLISP functions not written in newLISP?

newLISP is not written in newLISP.  As far as I know, all built-in functions are written in C.



The standard modules are mostly written in newLISP.  A few are wrappers around C libraries, and the gui server is partially written in Java.

So all of the functions in the manual could be considered core or primitive functions?

I believe so, yes, but you will need to hear from Lutz as the final authority on the matter.
