newLISP Fan Club

Oh! Yet another newlisp fork for unix/linux on github!

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/irr/newlisp-spark.git

To fix (rotate) bug:
edit nl-liststr.c

string:
if(length <= 1 || count == 0 || length == labs(count))

replace to
if(length <= 1 || count == 0 || length == labs(count) || count % length == 0)

./configure
make

All done without errors with libredline and libffi;
to test

./newlisp

And after that sudo make install

That all.

Have a nice day!

Well this is pretty incredible, kudos to the author https://github.com/kimtg !

Wishing this project success!

A thousand thanks.
I have so much code to test...

In doc/MemoryManagement.html you may read about ORO & GC.

Looks pretty cool! I'm trying to figure out why it needs a GC though, I thought newLISP didn't need that because of ORO?

It looks, and it is, good. Blazing fast, which was the main goal. I guess we still need to update the math library to slowly get rid of external math libraries (GSL), but this is just a personal need. Newlisp-Neo is quite good as it stands, and fast enough for daily use. Whatever we could do to stay away from Python, the best.

There newliwsp fork on github:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kimtg/newlisp-neo.git

for compile without errors after ./configure-alt edit makefile_build
and add nl-vm.o to the end of line OBJS = ...

check
RLFLAGS = (if libreadline installed)
FFIFLAGS = (if libffi installed)

To fix (rotate) bug
edit nl-liststr.c
string:
if(length <= 1 || count == 0 || length == labs(count))
to
if(length <= 1 || count == 0 || length == labs(count) || count % length == 0)

It looks good.

Goodbye.

Here's NiiLISP.

Look's pretty cool, but the person who created it is a "language hobbiest" who flexed two monthes ago then never touched it again. The enthusiasm for newlisp has been pretty underwhelming, sadly. When ufko announced rebel it looked like there was some interest, but it kind of fizzled. I'm still holding out for a newlisp resurgence, but we'll see.

Janet kind of hurts my eyes, but how's it going for everybody? I must begrudgingly admit that it couldn't possibly hurt me to learn it...

Newlisp is the only language supporting ffi, http, json in a single executable less than 400kb running on Windows. I am unaware of other language with these characteristics.

Cool, thanks for sharing @Yael! As these seem pretty obscure I think it'd help to link directly to them.
