newLISP Fan Club

That project seems relatively unknown and abandoned afaict

I'd love to see some improvements to interacting with CLI programs. It's been a long time since I've done this but I remember that newLISP had issues when it came to managing the input / output of running programs, especially when combining piping data in to the program and getting data back out from both stdout and stderr, and handling errors.

That's awesome. Following 

Woah this is awesome! Congrats Ufko! I'm excited to see where this goes, please keep us posted of updates!

Yeah same here, parenthesis make everything easy to understand for me, I honestly don't get why anyone hates them.

Nice!

I think experiments that people want to put effort into are worth trying. 👍

When I asked Lutz this question he got back to me with a link to the same repo @iacore posted: https://github.com/kosh04/newlisp

So I guess maybe that's where people should look to send PRs? But I see nobody seems to be maintaining it, and it seems to be setup more as a mirror.

It's back up!

Hah! This is pretty cool 

Some improvement suggestions: support for arrow keys and make `q` and ^C keys work to quit.

Quote from: pber on April 15, 2024, 07:13:47 AMI`m studing his codebase and I`m starting to feel a profound feeling of respect and regard for him and his code, which is great (IMHO).

I hope to publish something about my project (Ike) in order to find help from you Lisp coders.

😎👍

I normally use Parinfer

Welcome back @marchildmann!

FYI your previous username should still belong to you. Try resetting the password for that username. If you still have control over that email you should get an email letting your reset it.

I also added `(write-expr x)`. May you find this useful.

Have you considered putting out some release notes? Feel free to take inspiration from how Lutz does it or create your own method (e.g. a simple `HISTORY.md` file is often useful).

I know there's a `newlispdoc` utility that creates documentation based on code comments. I'm not sure if that's used to build the full manual though.
