That the runtime environment and the compilation environment, insofar as they are distinct, are not able to communicate seems like a deficiency in the implementation. Lisp is meant to be interactive.
Do you not expect to be able to implement 'eval'?
- dan-robertson 5y agoTo a large extent, they can communicate: the compile time environment when compiling one form depends on the runtime environment modifications made by evaluating the previous form. This is what makes cross compiling lisp hard.
