Thanks for the link. I am working my way through the book and I am up to chapter 5. I have tried entering examples from the book into Nush but it doesn't tally up too well. For example:

(sqrt 4)

works in SBCL but in Nush is gives an error "undefined symbol sort". I fished around in my Nu installation for a bit and pulled out the demo which contains

 (NuMath sqrt:5)

And then

(class NSNumber

 (- (id) sqrt is (NuMath sqrt:self)))

which I suppose is a category on NSNumber. And then the example goes

(2 sqrt)

which is surely a message sort to object '2'.

A tutorial really would help. Nevertheless, it does give a warm hobby tingle to the whole Nu experience and that seems rare these days.
