I wonder if an AWS elastic lisp image service would be something lispers would use. Probably won’t live to see anything like it.
- pjmlp 2y agoIt is only missing having proper lambdas instead of one liners, JIT compilation, redo code after breaking into debugger, saving REPL into an image, ... Julia is more Lispy than Python will ever be. Ironically what AWS nowadays offers for Java and .NET based lambdas (SnapStart) is something similar to Smalltalk/Common Lisp images, yet another thing that traces back to their roots (Java being influenced by Objective-C/Smalltalk, and .NET origins due to J++ lawsuit).
- Iwan-Zotow 2y ago> proper lambdas instead of one liners that has simple solution - walrus thingy
- behnamoh 2y agoIn that case Elixir is also a Lisp where you use do-end instead of parentheses :) heck, any language that has an AST would be a Lisp according to your definition..
- musicale 2y agoThough it's easy to write a tiny Lisp interpreter in ~100 lines of Python (or JavaScript, etc.): http://norvig.com/lispy.html http://norvig.com/lispy.html
