I have a dream where you can code Lisp via diagrams, this is a nice aproximation of it.
Anybody ever tought of that? First you draw diagrams of Lisp metaphors with Lisp, then you can code Lisp by creating diagrams and evaluating them. Thanks to the almighty powers of Lisp you could then draw or code meta-diagrams to guide diagram modelling. The biggest challenge, imhhho, is getting the Lisp diagram representation right to make it sound.
I was thinking in joining a Lisp open-source project to get up with Lisp application coding pratices, any suggestion?

- jacabado 17y agoReally nice, I love how I stumbled in the spreadsheet case study, that's one of my use cases! Thank you so much for the link.
- mahmud 17y agoWhich Lisp are we talking about here? There is the Lisp that some programmers use to make ends meet and solve real world problems, then there is the mythical, perfect, Lisp that's much opined about by the Lisp fans in the non-coding prose-sphere. If this tool is meant for real, actual Lisp programmers, I think you should pause for a minute and survey the community. This might not be what they want after all. But if this is a thing for Lisp fans, well, those guys will take anything.
- jacabado 17y agoI would never have the ambition of creating a tool for Lisp programmers, they say communication with target users is a key thing for success. I still want to solve real world problems and I coul use a lisp <i> programmer </> or two.
