newLISP and the O.S. /
August 26, 2008, 10:14:59 AM
I've no clue of how to do it in newLisp, but since the 'touch' utility does it all of the time, I don't think you would have to 'rewrite' the OS...

One of the best plugins for FireFox is Firebug. I'd be interested to know if it would have found the missing character?

Lutz,



Much thanks for the new option on the install...

newLISP newS / Tweaks to the install package...
August 08, 2008, 07:56:45 AM
Each time I install a new version, the software offers to add newLISP to the path. Would it actually duplicate the original addition if I leave this checked? On a similar note, could creating a shortcut be and option and not forced?

As long as I have multiple processor boxes and do not have the ability to benefit from them, I'm hardly likely to enjoy second class citizen ship. Regards date and time parsing, precisely what is the problem--- lack of an existing library? Given that there is very little if anything about time and dates that should be OS dependent, there must be some portion of code somewhere that would provide a platform independent solution?

Given the number of things not implemented for windows I think it is about time that you abandoned the platform.

Ah but to do it well, the thing to do would be to add libmpfr and libmpc to the gmp module. This would give us fast unlimited(memory limit) complex math.

The work around for ampersand escapes that I've found useful is to use the alternate &#; form.

Great blog post. Finally something said that doesn't say it at the expense of something else. I get so tired of juvenile posts about the 'one true language'! There is no such thing and it is nice to see something celebrate what were are all ultimately in the game for— fun, what most call 'programming'(if only they knew!!)

I got here from a URL on Hacker News. I've been quite happy ever since. And while I'm implementing my current project(porting my CPAN PGN: modules) in both newLisp and common lisp(clisp [I think] via slime and emacs) and will eventually get around to scheme, ruby and python, I've got to tell you that newLisp wins hands down. The multiple languages help me make improvements across the board and is an excellent way to keep familiar with any changes there might be.


Quote from: "HPW"As an longtime autolisp programmer I was always searching for lisp-alternatives running outside autocad but fairly compatibel with autolisp.

At that time (around 2001/2002) I evaluated every lisp I get my fingers on. (xlisp,corman-lisp,Lispworks etc.)




HPW, do you remember in your evaluations how much xlisp resembled autolisp— just wondering how much divergence there has been since Walker borrowed xlisp from Betz(sp?)?

p.s. I started with AutoCad 1.4, haven't done much since 200i...

The advantages of ABC are that it is text, there is a large amount of music available written in it and it is a well know standard. There are a large number of utilities available to cross check your newLisp implementation. Further it is typically importable by the big guns, Finale, Sibelius etc. When it comes to a ascii format for music I think ABC is the standard. At least from my research into music representation.

There is a standard of sorts for this kind of thing. See: http://www.walshaw.plus.com/abc/">//http://www.walshaw.plus.com/abc/

Interesting, I just did a search on the text (from FIrefox) and I couldn't find the word!



Update: Couldn't find it because I didn't spell it correctly!! Typical...
