Always amazing work Lutz :)



I just noticed in the newLISP manual (v9.2.0) that the description for read-line never mentions that it will ever return nil (although the example suggests that it will).

On MacOS X Leopard, the disk image is called 'image' rather than 'newLISP'. Don't know if this is deliberate....

[Lutz]

The images are made now in an automated way, but I will rename it to "newLISP-image" or something similar. Images are also 30% smaller now.

Thank you for your job! I'm very impressed!

As soon as I will get more knowledge about NewLisp (I'm using NewLisp from not so much time), I will open an italian blog site in order to help you to "spread the word"!



Thank you again!

Excellent! If you can host a newLISP blogging application, let me know - you can have a copy of mine! :)

[ale870]

Since I'm Italian, I could create a blog in italian language, in order to "reach" the people that not yet speak English. So I could translate some articles, tutorials, etc...

What do you think about it?

[cormullion]

It's a beautiful language, but I understand only the musical subset of it. :) Presto con fuoco!  Allegro leggierissimo!



My view: if there are potential readers, then it's worth doing some writing. But don't expect much feedback...

[ale870]

Good! If I will not get many readers, it means NewLisp really need it! ;-)

When I will grab so many readers, it means NewLisp will be enough popular!!!



I will open a blog as soon as possible!



If you will find useful links, news, articles, tutorials, please don't hesitate to send me them!

[cormullion]

If you need some material to get started, feel free to translate anything from my web pages, with a little pointer to the original perhaps. And I'd check the code to make sure it still runs...



But I think you'll have plenty of things to write about. I've got half a dozen posts on the go, but I've got other things to do first - like update the Introductions... :)

Hello cormullion, I will make a NewLisp application for you: an italian word per day! :-)

Now, just to start, here the first little application, in order to "learn" italian terms:

Code Select Expand

(amb "How = COME" "Well = BENE" "Everything is ok = TUTTO BENE" "Hello = CIAO" "How are you? = COME STAI?" )


Well, its a joke, but if someone put this code on computer startup, and put many phrases inside, it could be a good solution to learn foreign terms with (almost) no problem!!!

[ale870]

Done! Italian blog was open! My new adventure begins here!

I'm still configuring it. The web page is:

Yes!!! I will put a link in my page!

[newBert]

I prefer the site in italian ... I can't speak or write italian but I can understand this beautiful language. It's a "cousin" of mine ;)

Bertrand



P.S.: I'd like to create a site like this in french, but I've no time to do it ...
