First and foremost, I think "newLISP" is an horrible name. What will they do when "newLISP" is 10 years old? Or maybe they don't expect it to survive that long?

  Heh, actually it already reached that point, more than 10 years old I think. From http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2007/04/19/interview-with-lutz-mueller-creator-of-newlisp/ http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2007/04/19/interview-with-lutz-... "Lutz: newLISP started on SunBSD in the early 90's, then moved to Windows 3.0/1 as a 16-bit application, then to Windows 95/98 as a 32-bit program. During all that time newLISP was more like a hobby for me. Around 1999/2000 I made it Open-Source under the GPL license on Linux."

  I think it's a horrible name because newLISP's dynamic scoping with static scope simulated through namespaces seems pretty old-fashioned to me.
