Return multiple values from a function.

Thanks so much, thats just what I needed. However I was wondering if this would not better be implemented as a Macro, I'm not sure how NewLisps support for Macros is but Schemes really suck, it seems like very paper that talks about them and how to utilize them just doesn't work :(.

There is such a thing as a macro in  newLisp, but this may not be the same as with Scheme. Please read the newLisp docs at

Very tidy in NewLisp.

One more reason to switch to newLisp immediately! ;-)

Very tidy in NewLisp. How does NewLisp compare for performance with Scheme and CL guys?

There's benchmarking data out there and elsewhere on this site, but little real  information, and even less knowledge or wisdom... :-)

Presumably it's generally true that compiled languages are better for performance than interpreted ones? (I'm no expert so I wouldn't know...)
