Seed7 programming language

• sdegutis 11y ago
  > Seed7 supports the introduction of new syntax elements and their semantics into the language and it allows new language constructs to be defined using the Seed7 language itself This just sounds like Lisp macros.

      Clueless anti-Lisp diatribe in the very FAQ list for a language, penned by author. Charming! Lisp has user-defined statements and operators which integrate perfectly into Lisp (look and feel built-in; aren't "second class" in any way). Invocations of these custom forms look like Lisp, just like user-defined Seed7 forms look like ... Seed7! Infix can be supported as cleanly as you want it; it can be a hack, or not, and can certainly have user-defined operators with custom associativity or precedence. This can be done without recompiling the underlying Lisp system or touching any of it. Can we take, out of Seed-7, the ability to define user-defined operators, and put that capability back in the same or very similar form only by writing Seed-7 application code?
