Not lisp again, again
- martyalain 10y agoI was reading again an old interesting post from Joe Marshall, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5375735 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5375735. I love Lisp/Scheme but I can't use them easily on the web. So I built a small Lisp dialect, lambdatalk, working on the shoulders of modern browsers with which I can play, like Joe Marshall did, with concepts like recursion and derivatives, for instance in http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=derivatives_2 http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=derivatives_2 and in http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=recursion http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=recursion. The lambdatalk's parser is exclusively based on regular expressions working on pure text and yes, it works fine in a wiki context, despite of Chomsky's categories. I would like to know your opinion about this approach.
