You mention a couple of lisps as being similar to this. I wonder if there is any more programming languages that could be considered complete? Forth? C? ASL?
- vslira 4y agoANSI C and SML probably qualify, though I hope you don’t need utf-8
- dvfjsdhgfv 4y agoYou probably won't write any useful and nontrivial piece of software in C today without using external libraries, so if you really need Unicode, you will probably use one one of Unicode libs - although basic operations like copying will work without these anyway.
- whyenot 4y agoI think Lua is a good example. It has stayed simple and avoided change because of its position as an embedded language and strong leadership. Another good one would be Smalltalk.
- gyulai 4y agoYeah, definitely Lua.
