Converting Lisp to newLisp

[Stever1975]

So I'm reading land of lisp and I was wondering is there a library I could include that would allow newLisp to read Common Lisp.

I don't think so.  I've yet to read Land of Lisp, but I suspect newLISP and Common Lisp as introduced there would diverge too soon and too quickly, (I would get confused - perhaps you wouldn't.).



There is a "difference between Lisps" document (http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Differences_to_Other_LISPs">http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=D ... ther_LISPs">http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Differences_to_Other_LISPs) which is worth reading.



There's a big and probably unbridgeable gulf between the two languages. Common Lisp is vast and complex compared with newLISP, and newLISP tries to eliminate many aspects of CL that don't fit in with its philosophy of a small, quick, interpreted Lisp-like scripting language.

I'm reading it too. I have converted the first game (guess-game)...

It is an interesting method to learn more about Common Lisp and Newlisp.

Have a nice day.
