Hi guys,

is it possible to achieve something like this in newLISP?

Code Select Expand
(assign name city age '("john", "new york", 22))

You can't. unless you want to use title case.

Code Select Expand

: (bind (unify '(Name City Age) '("john" "new york" 22)))
22
: Name
john
: City
new york
: Age
22
