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.

Though I mostly agree with what you say about Janet, I think considering Janet the spiritual successor is a far-fetched statement. I would advise you to have a look on niiLISP (Newlisp on Rust) which is a direct dialect of Newlisp. Eshkol is also quite Newlispy (most 'new' Scheme's are, anyway). I guess choosing a programming language which looks Newlisp-like is a matter of personal taste (I love Carp). But if what you are looking for is an updated version of Newlisp, with all its syntax and architecture (ORO, etc.), then Hyperlisp-Sintaxial is the one to go. Hyperlisp is Newlisp on Dlang, with all Newlisp functions and libraries (modules) hardcoded in native D, plus some new 500 functions (stochastic analysis, fractal analysis, cryptoanalysis, the entire Arguelles's fuzzy functions enhanced and recoded, neural network activation functions (elu, relu, leak-relu, mish, etc.), and native math library expanding GSL math library. No external libraries are used, though it incorporates FFI (it is Newlisp, anyway).

The cons is Hyperlisp is propietary software (not commercial), mainly use for strategy war gaming, cryptoanalysis. and signal processing. All in all, niiLISP is what you should consider the closest available new-Newlisp you can have access to.
