Doesn't look like Lisp, more like Clojure. Basically none of the functions, macros or syntax is from Lisp. The documentation says: http://lispyscript.com/docs

> LispyScript is not a dialect of Lisp. There is no list processing in LispyScript . LispyScript is Javascript using a Lispy syntax (a tree syntax).
That's about right. It actually uses some kind of s-expressions, but not Lisp syntax.
- moron4hire 11y agoThis is why I called my version of this "Loosp", because it required a very loose (so probably incorrect) definition of Lisp to call it a Lisp: https://github.com/capnmidnight/betty-boop/blob/master/pong.html https://github.com/capnmidnight/betty-boop/blob/master/pong....
- gjm11 11y ago> Basically none of the functions, macros or syntax is from Lisp. Sounds like it's extremely well named, then. LispyScript is to Lisp as Javascript is to Java: an entirely different language with different syntax, semantics, standard library and performance characteristics, but with just enough superficial similarity to provide plausible deniability for the name.
- lispm 11y agoWell said! ;-)
