This is interesting, but I believe a big point of LISP is actually having a live system that can be introspected, and GC is part of making that work. In the end isn’t this just <insert sys prog language> but with s-expressions?
- TeMPOraL 5y agoS-expressions also enable proper macros, as long as it has them, it's already ahead of <insert sys prog language>.
- hcarvalhoalves 5y agoI guess so, I think my point is: are s-expression enough to qualify as a LISP?
- TeMPOraL 5y agoDepends who you ask, really. For me, s-expressions and macros are enough, though it would feel very weird without a REPL and image-based development.
