Poslin language embedded

I guess this isn't really the best place, but I don't know any better, so I'll do with suboptimal... When I had postfix notation in school I got the idea of writing a postfix language (Postfiksa Lingvo in Esperanto, short "Poslin"). I hadn't heard of Forth back then and I only had little experience with Lisp, so I just kind of cobbled together a specification (which is lost now) and tried to implement it in Common Lisp but ultimately failed.... more » By Antsan  - May 10 - 8 new of 8 messages

Racket

I've been playing with Racket more lately and I'm struggling with macros. define-syntax-rule is simple and beautiful compared to defmacro, but I'm struggling to get more advanced functionality out of it. I'd like to be able to write recursive macros, but I keep ending up with weird errors. I've experimented with other forms but they seem dramatically more complex, and I've yet to have any success.... more » By Nathan  - May 9 - 3 new of 3 messages

	newlisp
	In the same vein as the thread about PicoLisp, does anyone here use newlisp and have any opinions on it? I am intrigued by its support for building guis right out of the box, although I should caveat that by saying that I'm relatively green when it comes to CL so don't have much to base this on.... more » By Milkman  - May 8 - 4 new of 4 messages
