Kudos - newLISP amazingly suited for small tools

[hotcore]

Since long I am a fan of languages that aren't bloatware.

By that I mean they have a (very) small footprint on disk and often installing isn't even necessary.



In my quest I encountered a few:

   - newLISP (in the past I dabbled a bit in it - no serious work)

   - Rebol (used that a lot)

   - Red ( //red-lang.org ) a very promising descendant of Rebol

   - 8th ( //8th-dev.com ) a descendant of Forth (currently studying 8th)



A few days ago I was in need of a small utility and wanted to build it fast.



I chose newLISP and I was amazed by how easy I could pick up all necessary bits and pieces

from the docs and in almost no time I had my utility running.



I have to say that I used other Lisp dialects like Common Lisp, Clojure and Scheme. All these were far more difficult (at least for me) to build a featureful program in a short time.



So I wish to send kudos to the developer!  I hope this language as well as the others mentioned above will prosper.
