Like slime?

[hsmyers]

Does the vi package for newLISP work like slime+vi?

How about the emacs package for newLISP?

No, it is syntax highlighter, nothing more.

How about the emacs package for newLISP?

No idea. Never using emacs.

Yeah, it runs as a minor mode, but's buggy.  I fixed one problem, but I never use it.  I don't know if the one on my site is the newest or not:

Looks like I need to do another release, 'cuz I've written the emacs

mode, and am running newlisp inside of emacs and am successfully

evaluating code, but don't know about other issues.

 

Yo! Folks! If you have a problem, send me an email, or a PM.

I can go for weeks without looking at this forum.

 

P.S. I use linux. Haven't tested for windows. Sorry.

i just use the normal inferior lisp mode inside emacs.



all you have to do is to set inferior-lisp-program to point to newlisp (with -C

option).





(load-library "inf-lisp")



(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/users/bob/bin/newlisp.bat")



the newlisp.bat just has this:



c:"program files"newlispnewlisp.exe -C



then i can just edit any newlisp program in emacs and evaluate any selected

region by just doing control-C control-R.  this is typically all i need. i use the same method for clisp too.  i don't use slime. it's too complicated and buggy.



inferior lisp mode is simple and does all that i want, which is to interact

with REPL inside emacs.



i used to use newlisp mode by Tim Johnson, but i found it unnecessary for my needs.

Damn! It's a good thing that I actually like emacs ;) Otherwise I'd be in a world of hurt. I dislike the newLISP java interface for a variety of reasons and can leverage emacs over it, Common Lisp and Scheme. I like your approach, I'll try it shortly...

I've made changes to the newlisp mode. Common lisp mode certainly

doesn't meet my needs - and I'm actually coding in newlisp now. If anyone

wants my current newlisp mode codebase, just send me an email and I

will get it to you.



I suspect that once I get to the point where I'm delivering services to

clients using newlisp, emacs newlisp-mode will be pretty robust.

BTW: The emacs Gods require C-c keybindings to make the mode

possibly eligible for for bundling with the distro, but that's not as productive as

simpler rebindings - such as using Super and Hyper modifiers. In fact

I've a thin layer built over the mode keybindings that uses both those

modifiers and a standalone numeric keypad programmed for emacs.



My email is tim@johnsons-web.com



Additionally, I'd suspect that the newlisp Java interface could be interfaced

with emacs and with CUA-style bindings (to hell with the emacs Gods),

one could have a product that even newlispers who hate emacs might

like. Would just take will and time.

Tim,



Send them to me and I'll put them up on Artful Code with attribution and a site link, if you like.

You don't need the java front-end at all to run programs using the guiserver.jar library. You can run any of the programs you find in /usr/share/newlisp/guiserver or in C:Program Filesnewlispguiserver out of Emacs or Vi or from the terminal command line like any other newLISP program.

OK. There will now be two files, got rid of the on-demand documentation,

too many parsing issues.

Let me look thru the code and add what annotation I might find necessary,

and I will put a link to a tar/zip file in this thread - sometime later

today or tomorrow.

Thanks

Would you mind adding eval buffer to the menu?  Also, the parenface file was missing from the tarball on the main site, so I commented out the related code.

eval buffer is currently in the menu as "Load File", (C-c C-e b), I will

change it to "Evaluate Buffer". And I will make sure to include tj-parenface.

If there are any problems. I recommend that you also post the questions,

comments or caveats at  newLISP Fan Club Forum Index  -> newLISP newS, but

since I don't always check in at the Forum, shoot me an email also.  This has

not been thoroughly tested, any bugs that you find and report or fix will

improve the product. Furthermore there is the possibility that I may have

mistakenly inserted function calls from other elisp modules that I've written,

if you find references to them, I'll get the code imported into the mode.



On-demand documentation has been removed. Too much trouble with parsing.

This has *only* been tested on linux. I now longer use Xemacs, any references

in the code to Xemacs should be considered incidental.

Expect two menus: "Newlisp" (functions and bindings) and

"Index" (function indexes). Also, note that the rather cumbersome

key bindings are made to be consistant with emacs protocols. If anyone

needs help or ideas regarding alternate key bindings (recommended),

I will help if I can or questions can be posted to newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

You will want to delete the keywords from newlisp-user-keywords-regexp

and put in your own....

Thanks

Tim

P.S. The following functions:

newlisp-indent-and-move-next, newlisp-indent-and-move-back,

newlisp-prev-opening-parens, newlisp-next-opening-parens,

are not bound to any keys, it's recommended at this time that

they could be bound to key that are most convenient for the user.

[Jeff]

Tim,



I added it to artful code and made a few changes myself.  All my changes are commented.  Here is a link:

Thanks Jeff. I really like the incremental evaluation.

And I will remember to byte-compile.

Cheers
